Presqu'île

Lyon's grand peninsula between two rivers, where Michelin-starred tables, historic bouchons and a new bistronomie share the same elegant streets.

A quietly affluent district by the Parc de la Tête d'Or, where considered, grown-up cooking serves a clientele that books ahead.

An elegant, leafy corner of the 6e around the old Belle Époque station, home to two-starred precision and Lyon's most revered chocolatier.

The cobbled Renaissance quarter below Fourvière, where serious tables hide among the postcard streets and secret traboules.

The steep, bohemian silk-weavers' slopes that are now Lyon's heartland of natural wine, craft coffee and inventive cocktails.

The genteel southern Presqu'île around its Romanesque abbey, where the most authentic bouchons serve Lyon's old canon without apology.

The busy civic heart of the northern Presqu'île, home to two of Lyon's most cherished, unchanged bouchons.

The commercial pulse of the Presqu'île near the Halles Paul Bocuse, guarding its soul in a handful of benchmark bouchons.
