Travel Advice & Information
Located within the gastronomic heartland of France, Lyon has no shortage of gourmet spots to choose from, including an impressive 20 Michelin-starred restaurants. Defined by its quality and simplicity, Lyonnaise cuisine is both undeniably French and wonderfully distinct. Feast on rosette lyonnaise (cured saucisson), coq au vin and quenelle (creamed fish or meat) washed down with the finest Beaujolais wine. Some of the city’s historical stand-outs include Cathédrale St-Jean-Baptiste, Lyon’s Romanesque-style cathedral, and Basilique Notre Dame de Fourvière, a stunning example of French ecclesiastical architecture.
Vieux Lyon – the city’s largest Renaissance district and a UNESCO World Heritage site – is home to well-preserved Renaissance-era mansions intersected by traboules (covered alleyways denoted by subtle plaques on discreet doorways dotted around town). The atmospheric Croix-Rousse area of the city is particularly delightful and away from the city itself, you can explore charming medieval villages such as Pérouges, Oingt or Vienne with its Roman remains.
