Lyon is a splendid French city with a scenic and strategic location in the lovely northern Rhone valley. Bounded by two rivers, the Rhone and the Saone, Lyon is a charmer replete with rich history, intact Roman ruins, a renowned gastronomic heritage and an enviable lifestyle. Among its many architectural treasures are two well-preserved Roman amphitheatres, an important medieval Cathedral and the largest intact Renaissance era quarter in Europe (outside of Venice). Add to all of that a sophisticated urban mix of theatre, museums, art, lively cafes and clubs and Lyon comes alive.
Lyon considers itself the gastronomic capital of France and a sampling of the markets, bistros, bouchons and food artisans leads one to believe that this just may be correct. Les Halles Paul Bocuse is a glorious permanent market with dazzling selections of the freshest foods and excellent wines from the Rhone-Alpes region. And there are other vibrant marché volants that set up along the riverbanks to sell beautiful fresh food and other products. Lyon is famed for rich dark chocolates from Bernachon and Richart, for redolent cheese such as St. Felicien and St. Marcellin, for uber-chef Paul Bocuse, and for its Bouchons, a uniquely convivial Lyonnaise style of bistro with hearty foods complimented by fine Beaujolais or Rhone wines, grown in nearby vineyards.
Luscious classic and contemporary French chocolates, redolent cheese, artisanal charcuterie, glorious Patisserie, marvelous Macarons, perfect baguettes…. And so much more delicious-ness! Join Paris-specialist Sally Peabody on this spirited three-day immersion in the best Parisian Marché Volants, exploring characterful market streets lined with enticing gourmet shops, visiting convivial wine bars, patissiers, wineshops, a fine tea shop or two, and artisanal chocolatiers all over Paris.
