Overview

This 3.5-hour walking food tour in Lyon starts at a central meeting point where an English-speaking local guide from Do Eat Better leads the group through the old town area. The first stop is a boutique near Lyon Cathedral for a 45-minute tasting of Côtes du Rhône wine and traditional Lyonnais charcuterie, including Rosette de Lyon, with explanations provided by a well-known sommelier. Next, the tour continues with a one-hour visit to the Traboules du Vieux Lyon, the covered passageways connecting buildings in the old town. After exploring these passages, the group sits down at a traditional bouchon restaurant to eat quenelle, a classic Lyonnais dish. The tour then moves to a confiserie in the Presqu'île district for a 45-minute tasting of popular local sweets. Following this, there is a 30-minute stop at a historic bakery in Vieux Lyon, founded in 1948, where participants taste praluline, a brioche filled with pink almond pralines. The final 30 minutes are spent at a chocolaterie near the Cathedral, where chocolates made by a Meilleur Ouvrier de France are sampled, featuring regional chocolate varieties. Water, lunch, and alcoholic beverages are included in the tour. Vegetarian options are available. The guide may speak both English and French during the tour. Guests with severe food allergies should contact the operator before booking. The minimum drinking age is 18.
