Restaurant Paul Bocuse

Some 7km north of Lyon, this triple-Michelin-starred restaurant was the flagship of the city's most decorated chef, Paul Bocuse. Although Bocuse is no longer around, his recipes continue to dazzle foodies, with the likes of escargots with parsley butter, thyme-roasted rack of lamb and Bocuse's signature soupe aux truffes noires VGE (truffle soup created for French president Valéry Giscard d'Estaing in 1975).
