Lyon is one of France’s most incredible cities—but it’s also one that many tourists don’t fully understand. In this video, I share the do’s and don’ts of visiting Lyon, France, so you can enjoy the food, history, and culture without making rookie mistakes.
We talk about why Lyon is considered the gastronomical capital of France, how to properly enjoy a traditional bouchon restaurant, and what foods you shouldn’t leave without trying—including the famous pink pralines. I also cover must-see sights like Fourvière Basilica, Lyon Cathedral, and the city’s chapels, along with tips on how to visit them respectfully and smartly.
Lyon isn’t Paris—and that’s part of its charm. This video helps you understand what makes the city special, how locals experience it, and how visitors can avoid common missteps when it comes to dining, sightseeing, and expectations.
Whether this is your first time in Lyon or you’re returning for the food alone, these tips will help you have a better, smoother, and more authentic experience.
