- Vieux Lyon - The finest dessert in Lyon is undoubtedly the Praluline: a soft brioche filled with delicious pralines, which are traditional candies made of almonds coated in pink sugar. Guests will taste this special dessert at one of the town’s historic bakeries, established in 1948!
- Place Saint-Jean - The culinary journey concludes at a remarkable chocolaterie near the Cathedral, where the recipes are crafted by a Meilleur Ouvrier de France. Participants will embark on an exploration of the diverse types of chocolate this region offers. Simply unmissable!
