In an amazing local boutique near Lyon Cathedral and with the help of one of the most famous sommeliers of Lyon you will taste some excellent local wine and local charcuterie, such as Rosette de Lyon.
Let's discover the famous hidden passages of Lyon old town: the traboules! These covered narrow streets connect one building to another and were used to transport goods or to seek protection in time of war or fights. And after the discovery of this secret gem, have a seat in a beautiful traditional restaurant, also known as bouchon, and try one of the most iconic dishes of the Lyonnais gastronomy: the quenelle!
Lyon is well-known for its cuisine and its desserts are no exception. In a local confiserie, you will have a taste of some of the most popular sweets in town.
The best dessert in Lyon is absolutely the Praluline: a soft brioche filled with tasty pralines, typical candies made of almond covered by a pink sugar coat. You will have a taste of this special dessert in one of the historical boulangerie in town, founded in 1948!
You will end your culinary journey In an amazing chocolaterie near the Cathedral, where the recipes are created by a Meilleur Ouvrier de France. You will embark on a journey among the different types of chocolate that this region can offer. Just unmissable!
