A Christmas log 1000% Lyonnaise
Ever dreamed of eating Lyon? Boulangerie Marcel in the 6th district will make your wishes come true with these Yule logs in the shape of the Basilique de Fourvière or Les Brotteaux. A nice touch if you’re in charge of dessert for a family dinner!
A really good slice of cheese in a really good cheese shop in town
Offer a slice of cheese? Why not! We’re not telling you to bring a Saint-Marcellin or a Reblochon to put under the tree, but why not go all out for cheese this year at Christmas or New Year’s Eve dinner? Lyon is full of places where cheese is king. You won’t find anything better to impress your in-laws!
A pastry from Maison Bouillet
While the ski season kicks off at the same time, Lyon pastry chef and chocolatier SĂ©bastien Bouillet is already celebrating Christmas. His house is a landmark for all gourmands. This year, Maison Bouillet takes us… on a journey! Like these two logs from Japan and Road 66, this year you can count on originality and creativity. Prices are relatively high, but when you love it, you don’t count. On the road to gourmandise!
