Lyon Is the French City for People Who Plan Trips Around Dinner












If The Hills taught us anything, it’s that you never want to be “the girl who didn’t go to Paris.” True — especially if Paris is still on your bucket list — but we’d argue France has more than one showstopper. Enter: Lyon, the country’s third-largest city and its undisputed gastronomic capital.
