Overview

Join our expert food guide and step into Lyon’s Old Town, a lively Renaissance district that feels like a piece of Italy. Wander through its charming, history-rich streets while tasting local treasures like pink praline brioche and the famous Coussin de Lyon. Your guide will share fascinating stories, fun facts, and recipes that have shaped Lyon into the food capital it is today.

This three-hour tour lets you experience the heart of Lyon’s UNESCO World Heritage district. After crossing the River, discover the Presqu’île district with its monuments and lively squares. Indulge in a classic French macaron from a renowned Lyon pâtissier and sample innovative treats crafted by culinary pioneers.

No visit would be complete without savoring Lyon’s signature charcuterie and cheeses, paired perfectly with a glass of local wine. This tour blends history and gastronomy, connecting you with Lyon’s culture, flavors and stories that have earned it worldwide fame.
