The short list
What Appricio would tell you to do in Lyon
Restaurant
Trattino
The house-made pasta and whatever vegetable dish they're running that week — the kitchen changes with the seasons and doesn't apologize for it.
Museum
Musée Cinéma et Miniature
Two floors: upstairs, movie props and animatronics from Alien to Jurassic Park, the latex masks and exploding squibs that made pre-CGI cinema work.
Local pick
Pralus : Pâtissier Chocolatier, Lyon Saint-Jean
François Pralus runs this Saint-Jean shop like a laboratory: pralines invented here in 1955, single-origin chocolate bars from twenty countries, and a brioche praline rose that locals eat warm on…
Museum
Musée des Confluences
The building — all steel cantilevers and glass over the confluence of the Rhône and Saône — is the statement before you walk in.
Restaurant
La Commune
A rotating lineup of independent kitchens under one industrial roof — think Sichuan dumplings next to natural wine next to Vietnamese bánh mì.
Lyon, decided in 30 seconds.
