La Cuisine

Ask any French citizen what he or she thinks is Lyon's main attraction and the answer will probably be “la cuisine” (the food). This is a city where eating is taken very seriously indeed. There are hundreds of restaurants, ranging from very simple to world class, and then there is the wine. North of Lyon, miles of famous vineyards produce quality reds and whites, with names to excite a wine lover - Mâcon, Pouilly, Fleurie and Beaujolais, to name but a few. Wine enthusiasts may consider an excursion to the wine country; the tourist office can help with this.
