I couldn’t leave Lyon without going to at least one bouchon (a traditional type of restaurant you can find all over the city that’s casual and that serves a variety of hearty meals). This particular one has a three course menu for 15.90 Euros — an absolute steal.
If you have even a passing interest in movies and moviemaking, the Cinema and Miniature Museum in Lyon is pretty much a must-visit.
Croissant from Le Fournil de L’artisan
Hey, what do you know? Another extremely tasty croissant in France. It’s almost like the bakeries here know what they’re doing. The only odd thing about this place is that I’ve been in Europe for a couple of weeks, and this was the first time that I had to pay cash for anything. I’ve been able to tap my credit card for every single purchase thus far, no matter how small, which has been enormously convenient (especially since I have a travel credit card that doesn’t charge any currency conversion fees).
