The Secrets of Lyonnais Gastronomy

When gastronomy become an art de vivre...

The city of Lyon draws its renowned excellence from the surrounding region and the expertise of its chefs. And this is no doubt why Curnonsky, the famous culinary critic, called it the "capital of world gastronomy" in 1935!

From the silk workers’ mâchons to the contents of the cooking pots of the Mères Lyonnais (the “Mothers of Lyon”), Lyon has earned itself a reputation of a town in which the “art of cooking” has become a veritable religion.

Paul Bocuse has inspired this heritage by adding his own expertise as a top chef of international influence.
