About Lyon
Lyon is France's food capital — bouchons (traditional taverns) serve quenelles, andouillette, and wine by the pitcher, and Paul Bocuse's legacy is everywhere. It's less touristy than Paris, with Roman ruins, Renaissance old town, and rivers converging in the city center. The TGV makes it a 2-hour hop from Paris.
