It was Andy and Tiana’s last day in Lyon and we decided to make it a food day. Lyon is the culinary capital of France (perhaps of the world) so eating is an event in Lyon. We were very fortunate that our apartment was only two blocks from arguably the best food shopping and eating place in France, Les Halles de Lyon Paul Bocuse. Les Halles is an incredible indoor shopping mart of food stalls and cafes, each offering a specialty (cheese, charcuterie, fresh meat, fish, oysters, sweets, and on and on). The facility is very upscale and the products are the finest one could hope to find anywhere. Just window shopping there is a treat.
After much browsing and deliberation we decided to buy the ingredients for an Italian meal. We bought lasagna, fresh pasta, marinara sauce, roasted vegetables, freshly grated parmesean, fresh baguettes, and an almond tart to finish it off. Tiana made the best garlic bread we have ever tasted, using freshly-minced garlic. It was a memorable meal to complete their visit to Lyon.
