Food is culture, and culture is history. This was an excellent introduction to the sequences of culture over the span of history narrated in the language of food. The Old Town of Lyon is an especially good place for such a lesson. Our guide led us adeptly through the squares and traboules from cafe to cafe describing why and how Lyon came to be the gastronomic capitol of France. It was magnifique!
Rosie was outstanding!! The perfect tour guide. Knowledgeable, friendly, accommodating. The perfect day!
