Description
Explore the Paul Bocuse Halles with a professional comedian-guide and savor Lyon's most iconic specialties!
Discover the famous Halles Paul Bocuse and Lyon's great culinary tradition.
During this unusual discovery of the "belly of Lyon", your comedian-guide (not in costume) takes you on a real journey through Lyon's culinary history.
You'll meet Mère Brazier and the Italians of the Renaissance, who'll tell you about their contribution to Lyon's gastronomy. The mâchons ("brunch" in Lyon) from the time of the Canuts (silk weavers), tripe, and macaroons will no longer hold any secrets for you!
This walk in the Halles alternates between small theatrical moments to discover the history of gastronomy, and sweet and savory tastings: Lyon charcuterie accompanied by a glass of wine, local cheeses, quenelles, the unmissable praline pie, but also macaroons and the famous Lyon coussins.
You'll discover or rediscover the capital of gastronomy in a fun, dynamic, and especially humorous way!
