What to do and see in Lyon, Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes: The Best Food & Drink

April 18, 2022 Brandee Mangan

A UNESCO World Heritage Site, Lyon has 2,000 years of history imprinted on its streets (yes, the cobblestone kind). Explore this history in Vieux Lyon (one of Europe's most extensive Renaissance neighborhoods) and Lyon's two Roman amphitheatres, which still stage rock concerts today. It's no wonder Lyon is a popular area for travelers, with its dynamic university, first-class shopping, antique markets, vibrant theatre and music festivals, and a range of interesting museums, such as the International Puppet Museum and the Museum of Miniatures and Film Sets. (When we say "interesting," we mean it.)

Reviewed By louiseje44 - Buckinghamshire, United Kingdom

We visited L’Atelier for a class on how to make traditional French macrons. None of us speak French but this was not a problem because Deborah spoke excellent English. The class was fun and she was very helpful and made the class really fun as well as informative. Would highly recommend.
