The longest traboule (hidden medieval walkway) in Lyon winds between Rue Saint-Jean and Rue du Bœuf, where you can pick up a mean version of another regional speciality - boeuf bourguignon.

Opening Hours
This region - the gastronomic heartland of France - is synonymous with good living and boasts beautiful rolling countryside and the much underrated city of Lyon. France's second city has France's first food, with fantastic markets and restaurants ranging from Michelin-starred establishments to cosy 'bouchons'. Outside the city, cycle through the vineyards of Beaujolais and discover for yourself that while these wines are dismissed by many, the ten Beaujolais Cru Domaines are a serious step up from the Beaujolais nouveau in your local supermarket.
Why we think you’ll love it
- The cuisine on offer in Lyon. Spend your luxury holiday seeing for yourself why it is the undisputed gastronomic heartland of France.
- Discover that Beaujolais can be one of the most delicious of wine producing regions.

Lyon, Burgundy & the Rhone Valley: the Detail
Vieux Lyon - a UNESCO World Heritage Site - is home to well preserved Renaissance districts intersected by traboules or covered alleyways denoted by subtle plaques on discreet doorways dotted around town. The atmospheric Croix-Rousse area of the city is particularly delightful.
Away from the city itself, you can explore charming medieval villages such as Pérouges, Oingt or Vienne with its Roman remains, or visit the world-renowned vineyards of the Burgundy region.
