Lyon, Beyond the Bouchons

When the City Card Pays
The Lyon City Card comes in 1-, 2-, 3- and 4-day versions, combining TCL public transport with entry to museums such as Musée des Beaux-Arts, Lugdunum and Musée des Confluences. Collect the card at the Lyon Tourist Office on Place Bellecour. It suits days packed with several museums and trips across town.
Bouchon Flavours to Try
At Les Halles de Lyon Paul Bocuse, try quenelle de brochet in sauce Nantua, then look for pink pralines in brioche or tarte à la praline. For a market lunch, Marché Saint-Antoine runs along the Saône with cheese, charcuterie and produce. Cervelle de canut, a tangy fromage blanc dip with herbs, is a classic with bread.
Spring Gardens, Summer Lakes
In spring, Parc de la Tête d'Or's rose garden and Jardin botanique de Lyon are in bloom. The 117-hectare park also has a lake and a free zoo. For a larger waterside day, head east to Grand Parc Miribel-Jonage, a 2,200-hectare leisure area where Lac des Eaux Bleues draws cyclists and swimmers in summer.
Silk and the Canuts
At Maison des Canuts in Croix-Rousse, demonstrations show how Jacquard looms turned punched cards into intricate silk patterns. Follow the slopes' traboules-covered passageways once used by canuts to carry cloth-toward Cour des Voraces, known for its monumental courtyard staircase. Lyon silk scarves make a light souvenir with a local craft story.
