This 3.5-hour walking food tour takes place in Lyon’s Old Town and features six French delicacies paired with fine white and red wines. The tour starts with a 30-minute tasting of local charcuterie and a selection of French cheeses served with wine from a traditional Pot Lyonnais. During this stop, the guide explains how these products are made and their significance to the region. Next, participants walk through Lyon’s oldest street, known for its medieval buildings and famous traboules. The tour continues with a 30-minute stop to taste Pink Praline brioches, a local specialty. Afterward, the group visits a 16th-century cathedral that still shows marks from the French Wars of Religion, spending about 30 minutes there. Then the tour moves to the largest pedestrian city square in Europe, where participants collect a secret sweet treat from Voisin, a Lyon-based chocolate shop, to enjoy later. Lunch follows at a family-run bouchon that has been operating for nearly 100 years. This 30-minute meal includes a hot seasonal dish of the day with a choice of meat, fish, or vegetarian options, accompanied by a glass of wine. The final stop is at a top coffee boutique for an espresso, before returning to the oldest part of the Hôtel-Dieu to finish the tour with coffee and the last secret sweet treat. The tour includes all tastings, the seasonal hot dish, and wine, but does not include hotel pick-up, drop-off, or gratuities. Participants should notify in advance of any dietary requirements.
