Impressive guide for a visit to an impressive food market

traceylasz, Jul 2025

The Les Halles de Lyon Paul Bocuse is incredible. It is a clean, modern, efficient enterprise that showcases the highest quality foods. And even better, we had Clarie as our food guide and she was extremely well organized and presents her material seamlessly. She is warm, witty, clever, and has so much knowledge. We loved how she was able to teach us so fascinating things while keeping things light and playful. It is one of the best food tours we have had, and we have had many. We highly recommend Claire and a visit to this incredible food market.

Wonderful tasting tour of Les Halles

Katherine_V, Apr 2025

You will taste a wide variety of foods at Les Halles - come hungry! The tour was very accessible for all ages (we were 2 adults and a tween) and we especially loved the Lyon saucissons! Claire was a wonderful tour guide and explained the local history behind the development of certain food traditions, without ever being dry or boring. Highly recommend! The only note I would give is that it is a lot of standing so your feet may get tired and travelers with reduced mobility should take note.

Wonderful and enjoyable...

Claire was an extraordinary, passionate and knowledgeable guide. The tour was fabulous, we learned so much about the Lyonnais food, the various certifications and quality awards, the history of food and Lyon and the history of chefs and various regional products. This is a Must Do tour, and we’ll be recommending to our friends!

Claire was a fantastic guide and very informative. The tastings were delightful. Although it is difficult to pick a favorite, we liked the cheese and wine and sausage and quenelle experience.

Wonderful gastronomic experience

We had a wonderful tour of the food hall with our excellent guide, Claire. Many of the shops were closed in the afternoon, but Claire gave a wonderful tour with various tastings throughout the market. I highly recommend this personalized experience.
