A gourmet awakening around a real Lyonnais mâchon
In the heart of the peninsula in the 1starrondissement of Lyon, a stone’s throw from the Place des Terreaux, the Bouchon Lyonnais La Meunière, a true Lyon institution, has been delighting lovers of good food for nearly 100 years with its generous and gourmet dishes in a friendly and warm atmosphere.
The day starts in the most beautiful way: around a Lyonnais mâchon, the traditional breakfast emblematic of Lyon. Inherited from the canuts and the workers of Les Halles, the mâchon is a moment of sharing and conviviality, where we meet around simple and generous products.
On the menu:
artisanal charcuterie, local cheeses, crispy country bread and a glass of wine, because in Lyon, traditions are not to be trifled with. This warm moment, typically Lyonnais, will immediately immerse you in the soul of the city.
Lyon differently, comfortably installed in a double-decker bus at a height of 4 meters
After this gourmet time, it’s time to discover! Participants board a double-decker bus for a panoramic tour of Lyon, ideal for understanding the city without fatigue and with a new perspective.
From the bus floor, Lyon reveals itself from another angle:
the quays of the Saône, the Presqu’île and its emblematic squares, the Fourvière hill and the great symbols of the city. A pleasant and accessible way to understand the history, architecture and secrets of the capital of the Gauls.
