Old Town Lyon
Join me for a gourmet and cultural walk through Lyon’s historic Old Town. This 2.5-hour experience blends 50% food, 50% history. You’ll explore secret traboules, learn about silk weavers and Renaissance merchants, and taste Lyon’s most iconic specialties.
Start with charcuterie and cheese paired with a regional wine in a cozy deli. Then, enjoy a warm Praluline brioche, followed by a hearty main dish in a traditional bouchon with generous portions and true local flair.
End on a sweet note with the Coussin de Lyon, a chocolate marzipan treat inspired by the history of the city. Along the way, I'll share insider stories and cultural gems, leaving you full of food and fascinating facts.

Hundreds of gourmets have been won over by my gastronomic tours in Lyon.
A tour with a local and french native guide! Thank you for all the stories and funny jokes that made this tour not only a food tour but an adventure. The "charcuteries" and cheeses without all your explanations would be tasteless! We highly recommand Anna's food tour!
C'est une super façon de découvrir Lyon: c'est original et très gourmand!
Merci Anna!
Une superbe visite gourmande du Vieux Lyon ! Entre anecdotes historiques passionnantes, découverte et dégustations locales (mention spéciale aux quenelles !), on passe un moment à la fois savoureux et enrichissant. Merci pour cette belle expérience authentique !
The 3-hour food and walk tour through Lyon was an unforgettable blend of flavor and history. Anna did it in a magical way whereby every bite told a story of the city’s rich culinary heritage. We specifically felt Anna's insight and food scholarly background made the whole experience way more passionate and personable. Thanks Anna for showcasing to us Lyon's role as the gastronomic heart of France. Highly recommend. M&M x
Highly recommend! This was the best way I can think of to try a bunch of regional dishes at one time and to get the expertise of a local on where to eat throughout our stay in Lyon. Everything we ate was incredibly delicious (still thinking about a few of these dishes) and we had such a great time chatting with Anna!
Simply the best way to discover the heart of Lyon. Anna is so elaborate with her information about the history and Where the food orginates from. I learned so much from her.
We went on not one but two two tours with Anna - a bakery tour and a cheese tour. Anna was animated, knowledgable, awesome with our kids. She is not only a foodie who is in with the best of Lyon and can open doors where needed, but she also shared her knowledge of street art, and took us through Lyon's "traboules" creating a world of intrigue for our kids and even us. All in all - just a fantastic and memorable experience, worth more than we paid. Our family will always remember anna and her awesome tours!
