In Lyon's silky cuisine ...!

If you want to enjoy cross-country cuisine French, the culinary compass leads you to the charming city of Lyon. France's second-largest city, after Paris, is in no way the leader in European cuisine, it is home to 22 of the best restaurants in France. It has become a gateway to Europe since its connection to the main European capitals across the air is almost two hours. Those who have visited it see it in different angles. Some of them compare with Barcelona Spain, others with St. Petersburg, and rightly some with Dubai! And for the latter, there are many reasons as an unusual Lyon Dubai City project, which is taking place in Dubai, has turned into a major point of reference for tourism revenue for the city of Lyon. The project involves the reproduction of some parts of the city of Lyon in Dubai. A combination between Lyon and Chambery City, just one hour away from Lyon and 3 hours and a half from Milan.

Chambery, is the historic capital of the Kingdom of Savoy and is therefore inevitably linked to the entire Rhône-Alpes region. During this period Chambery is the theme of the year-end entertainment since, on November 30, opens the traditional Christmas market this year, where it will bring together kitchen professionals for a wide selection of foods. In 2014, Chambery is the French-elected city where new initiatives related to gastronomy will be undertaken. In the center of the city of Chambery, after having described the medieval alleys and the interiors to recall the Piedmont style, you will find the covered market, a small 'food' place where you can enjoy Savoy's famous cheeses and local wines. In addition to these classic French specialties Chambery is also famous for its special chocolate and an aperitif that always accompanies it with strawberry juice.
Chambery has its most special part in the old town, where the Castle of the Duke of Savoy stands, which overlooks the city. It can not be visited all year round and its greatest attraction is a chapel inside it with a total of 70 bells that attract the attention of those who want to see it closely. In addition to the Castle of Dukes, what is considered as a separate fortune of the small French town is the cathedral of St. Francois-de-Sales, which occupies an area of ​​6 thousand square meters. From Chambery we will move to Lion, in the silky city, where the art of cooking takes on another meaning. Lyon is a city full of history and life, it's the country that brings together culture and entertainment. Traditional Lion Restaurants are called 'bouchons', the origin of the word is unclear (this literally means "cork").
They appeared for the first time at the end of the 19th century and flourished in the 1930s, when the economic crisis forced rich families to open their restaurants for a working class clientele. In the city of Lyon there are 22 such restaurants that serve their food very traditional dishes. Lunch is generally served from 12:00 to 14:00 and dinner from 19:30 to 22:00. The city center is very picturesque, elegant, full of shops where souvenirs can be purchased from various, especially cooking books with hundreds of menus made by famous Lyonian chef Paul Bocuse. It is suggested only to dress comfortable shoes to enjoy the city properly among the alleys and secret passages that divide the old town houses and the many bridges stretching over the two rivers that pass through the Rhône and Saone. An inevitable stop would be the Fourviere Basilica, is giant and dominates the city. It is reached by a cable car that costs only 1 euro.
The trip is a wonderful sight that embraces the whole city in 180 minutes. The Basilica was built in honor of the Virgin Mary all in gold. The splendor that follows the statue of the Virgin Mary has made the city a protagonist of the Festival of Light, which takes place every year in early December and is accompanied by fireworks and various artistic performances. To enjoy the 360 ​​degrees this city we suggest the tour of the 29th of December with the tour. The baby of good food, the birthplace of Cinema and the Silk Town is waiting for you!
