Gourmet visit

Lyon is ranked as the world capital of gastronomy, and this tour proves it to you through taste. Lasting between 2 and 4 hours, your passengers set off to meet the artisans who make the city's culinary reputation: pork butchers, cheesemakers, chocolatiers, winemakers... Each one shares their craft, their product, and their story.

This is not a simple food tour. It is a cultural walk punctuated by 2 to 5 tasting breaks, alternating between seated stops (tables, restroom access, and air conditioning) and standing-up making workshops. Our Lyon guides meet groups directly on the docks (Claude Bernard or Fillon) or from the coach parking lots on Quai Romain Rolland, without logistical time waste, and adapt the pace to your schedule constraints. 

📍 DEPARTURE: Pick-up from the Rhône docks.
Our guides welcome groups directly at the foot of the boat. Introduction to Lyon and the program in a few minutes, then departure on foot for the first stop.

🧀 STEP 1: Meeting with a master cheesemaker

🥩 STEP 2: At the Lyon pork butcher's shop
Rosette de Lyon, jésus, grattons, saucisson à cuire... Lyon cured meats are an institution. Our artisan offers you a selection of his best products served with a glass of Côtes du Rhône.
