When you're in the gastronomic capital, a visit to Les Halles de Lyon is essential. Though it first opened its doors as an indoor food market in 1859, it wasn't until the iconic Paul Bocuse took over that it became one of the finest spots for food and drink. From butchers, cheesemongers, bakeries, fishmongers, fresh fruit & veg stalls, chocolatiers and wine merchants to it's sit-down restaurant spots it's all too easy to spend a good few hours here.
