Lyon challenges you to try and keep your BMI in the normal range. Thank goodness we walked so much every single day, because it’s not as if I had a whole lot of willpower when it came to meals.

In terms of wine, there was an embarrassment of choice everywhere we went, whether it was the most modest little bouchon, or a more refined restaurant. Typical wines of the region include Macon Villages and Viognier (both whites), and Côtes du Rhône and Brouilly (both reds). Last night, we asked our server if there was a typically Lyonnais apéritif, and he presented us with champagne flutes of Comunard: red wine with a splash of crème de cassis. I could have drank those all night long.
