  • About
All Foodie eater-outers aspire to have eaten in all of these. The only trouble is that so many are around Lyon that you would have to stay a fortnight there, to avoid a crise de foie.
There is an American gastronomic tour that goes to all these French three-stars and to some not rated in this world 18. But Foodies really like to go with a friend or two, on a private trip to excess.
