For the ultimate festive tasting experience, head straight to the Halles Paul Bocuse. In this temple of gastronomy, Lyonnaise specialities and other refined dishes (salmon, foie gras, seafood, truffles and fine chocolates) are available for sale (to take home a souvenir from your trip) or consume on site in one of the market hall’s many bars and restaurants, not to mention the standing tables at certain fishmongers.
