Lyon, France is the famed city of gastronomy, with over 5,300 restaurants, 17 Michelin-starred establishments, and 23 certified bouchons. The city is historic, it's home to art you can see indoors and outdoors, as well as opera, theatre, and music.
Watch for some of my favourite things in Lyon, from trying food at an authentic bouchon--a type of restaurant only found in the city--to exploring, Vieux Lyon, the Musée des Confluences, street art in Croix-Rousse, and the Musée Lumière, to name a few.
Apologies for my pronunciation!

About Lyon: Lyon is an idyllic French city where gastronomy and culture meet art, along streets filled with green spaces, romantic architectural gems, tracing back over 2,000 years of history.
Where the Rhône and Saône rivers meet, Lyon is home to some of the finest cuisine in France, it was home to the men who helped create modern cinema, and it’s one of the most charming places to escape. While Paris may be larger, Lyon is an easier destination for a lot of reasons, including the fact that it is smaller, but still offers so much to see and do.
For Canadians, and many other international travellers, there are direct connections into Lyon’s airport, including from Montreal, and a number of major cities in Europe. Or you can fly into Paris and take a short train ride directly into the heart of Lyon.
