Eat your way through the city of gastronomy!

Minority culture - Puppet show and Puppet Museum

Compared with the Musee de Lyon, the Confluence Museum and the Museum of Cinema, the puppet museum in Lyon is rarely noticed by tourists. I will not say more about the museum as I have introduced it before. This time, I recommend the recent puppet shows to you. Guignol likes music, Guignol likes jazz, Guignol likes Mama Swing.

On Christmas Eve, the famous American singer gave his first concert at the Jazz Hall in Lyon. It accompanies the Scat-Quartet Mouse. Guignol would become a friend of the great jazz diva. Between swings, friendships, stunts, and jazz history, Guignol will display imagination against the club's devious and dishonest owner, Fripouille.

Lyon is known as the "gastronomic capital", and the Lyon Gastronomic Market is the gastronomic center of the city. Named after the famous French chef Paul Boguus, the market brings together a variety of top French ingredients and cuisine.

Here you can taste fresh seafood, exquisite pastries, delicious cheeses and various local specialties. There are also many restaurants and food stalls within the market, making it a paradise for food lovers. Here, you can not only buy the freshest ingredients, but also experience the traditional French food culture.

Highlight Features:
This wet market was built in 1859 and has a history of 160 years. The current market is located in a very modern building 15 minutes' walk from the station, which houses more than 60 stalls and small restaurants in a thousand square meters of space.

Recommended reasons:
As a wet market & food lover, I can't help but sigh that this place is simply wonderful! Each stall is like a work of art, and mouthwatering food glistens on the counter. Very different from the domestic market, here is not to sell fresh vegetables and fresh fruits, but sell more advanced processed ingredients, such as Lyon's characteristic sausage, cheese, wine.

So let's see, which ones represent Lyon?
Sausages
One of the biggest features of Lyon cuisine is the sausage. There are hundreds of different kinds of sausages. A more distinctive sausage is the gut sausage, which is made of pig or cow guts and tastes similar to the domestic pig intestines. Among the most famous are the pig's blood sausage (Le boudin) and the visceral sausage (L 'Andouillette).

If you don't like guts, try La rosette de lyon, named for its thin and fat, rose-shaped cut. It's a French favorite.

cheese
Lyon is famous all over the world for its cheeses, with more than 100 varieties. There were several cheese stalls in the market, and each cheese on the counter was as beautiful as a work of art. The mainstream way to eat is directly sliced to eat, you can also mix melted cheese into wine, you can also match cold meat, potatoes, etc., in the cold season, a few pieces of cheese can quickly supplement physical strength and heat.

seafood
When you're in France, you can't miss oysters. An oyster shop in the middle of the market, selling oysters from famous French origins. Here, for less than 20 euros, you can eat a dozen processed oysters. It is best to open the freshest oysters, eat raw, you can eat the oyster shell of the sea water in the umami, if you pay attention to disinfection, you can squeeze some lemon juice provided by the shop.

In addition to oysters, the French love salmon. In addition to my favorite smoked salmon, there are also baked salmon and cooked salmon in the market.

cafeteria
The restaurants in the market are open from twelve o 'clock. This is a very famous father and son shop, mainly serving freshly made paella and frog legs. The taste of the food is second, and the most interesting thing is the handsome son and the funny old father.
