Lovely farmers market next to the Saône river…read more Lots of fresh fruits and vegetables, but also cured meats, cheeses and some prepared food, mostly at very fair prices. A really nice stroll in the morning. We went back twice.

Never mind Les Halles de Paul Bocuse…read more This is THE great gourmet market in Lyon. It is a massive massive street market on the banks of the Saone. Being on the river, it is as scenic as can possibly be imagined. The market goes on and on and on and on and on. Every kind of meat, every kind of fish, every kind of shellfish, every kind of vegetable, every kind of fruit, every kind of cheese, every kind of bread, every kind of pastry, every kind of spice, every kind of charcuterie, every kind of artisanal prepared food, Any thing you can think of in French cuisine: It's all here at the Marche Saint-Antoine. And they have it at multiple stalls - so you can pick and choose which vendor you like. Want to make pigeon stuffed with quince? They have the pigeon. They have the quince. Do you want fromage blanc made on the Savoyard model rather than following the Lyonnaise model? You have that option and six other choices as well. Have a French cookbook you read but can't use, since you can't find about a third of the ingredients? All those ingredients are at the Marche Saint-Antoine. The prices are very very reasonable. (The contrast with Les Halles de Paul Bocuse is particularly striking on the price issue.) If I lived in Lyon, I would set my cooking days to be the market days at the Marche Saint-Antoine ... Even if there was a perfectly good smaller market in my neighborhood.

Love this little shop! It has an awesome assortment of goods. Prices are a bit higher than some of…read morethe larger stores however their products seem to be highly curated and great quality. The produce is great compared to some other stores in the area- no wilted or expired veggies like I've seen at the larger grocery stores around. Lots of vegan options for 'meat', 'cheese' and tofu. A lot of the prices for these items are surprisingly low and some items were marked for 20% discount which is nice. They also have a small section for cosmetics and personal care products. Overall highly suggest this store if you are vegan or looking for a high quality shop in this neighborhood!

The best market and one of the highlights of all the many cities we visited in France on our trip…read more This is a true farmers market... amazing fruits, cheeses, and prepared foods.

She also gave us stamps that allowed us to get into another club for free. Music was pretty good. Only downside is that there's only one toilet. In a bar full of women, that's a disaster waiting to happen. The queue was super long hahahhaa. Wish the bar was a little bit bigger, but would definitely come back!

I had been traveling through the country, and it was my last night in Lyon, and in France. I…read moredressed up in the best clothes I had with me and went out looking for a gay/gay-friendly bar. Traveling alone and being a foreigner, I was hoping to find a place where I felt I could fit in, relax, and have a beer. Instead I found L Bar. I walked in (Monday, May 23, 2016, ~ 11pm) and approached the bar to order a beer. The female bartender (~5'6, short hair, brunette, fair-skinned) immediately came from around the bar, and spoke to me in French. Although I'm conversant in French, I am hearing impaired and, because of the loud music, I was unable to hear her. She shouted at me whether I understood English, and I nodded. She then told me it was a "lesbian only" bar (despite there being two other men sitting at the bar right in front of me), and asked me to leave. I asked if I could stay for a drink, and she said no. Shocked and in disbelief, I asked again, and she confirmed I was not allowed to stay. She walked me outside and directed me to another bar. I felt humiliated, very sad, and alone. I went in dressed well, mild-mannered, treated no one with disrespect, and wanted no more than to sit at the bar and drink a beer. The bartender's stated reason for asking me to leave, that I was not a lesbian, was illegal discrimination under the laws of France. The only other plausible reason was that she thought I could not speak French, but that, too, is discriminatory. In the service industry, it is a universal custom, regardless of the country, the city, LGBT business or not, to be welcoming and inviting to customers. And in all human interactions, people deserve to be treated with a minimal level of respect and basic human decency. L Bar could not even meet this minimum standard. Obviously, L Bar doesn't treat everyone this way, and they might even treat you well. But I ask that you stand in solidarity with me and not patronize this establishment. At the very least, don't risk the possibility that the bartenders there will find some reason to humiliate you or treat you as less than human.
