LYON // TOP 5 THINGS TO DO 

If you find yourself in Lyon for a couple of days and you want to be sure not to miss anything in the city, here are the Top 5 things to do in Lyon!

Les Halles Paul Bocuse 

France is recognized all over the world for its gastronomy and Lyon is the true epicenter of the French food culture, also known as the world's capital city of gastronomy. No less. That is why when you're in town, you should definitely visit Les Halles Paul Bocuse, named after the world-famous chef Paul Bocuse.

In this covered market you will find various producers and shops and will be able to try a wide range of local food products, from macarons to wine and cheese. You will also be able to enjoy a lunch or a diner in one of the various restaurants of the market who offer various local dishes highlighting regional products. If you're only passing by, don't hesitate to grab a slice of pink praline tart from Café Jocteur or some macarons from Bouillet to go!

Parc de la Tête d'Or

A true breath of fresh air in the middle of the city! This park is truly a great place to spend some time whether you're looking for a family activity, meeting some friends, or just looking for a nice place to take a stroll.
