5One of the highlights of...
One of the highlights of our trip to Lyon and Southern France. Joelle opened her home and her kitchen to us. We had a great time preparing our lunch and shopping in the local outdoor market. We highly recommend this experience!
5Really worth doing.
Such a wonderful few hours spent with Jöelle and Philippe. Choosing the freshest and best of foods from the places only Jöelle knew best then learning how to cook them in the French style was most enjoyable. Jǒelle and Philippe were so friendly and hospitable and very generously opened their home to us. The views from their apartment were spectacular too!
5Thank you Joëlle for this wonderful experience !
It was such a wonderful experience to have participated in this cooking class by Joëlle (the host) ! She was so friendly and lovely ! Her apartment is nice with very beautiful view over Lyon. We went shopping at the nearby markets and learned much from Joëlle and the vendors. Happy chatting and sharing the meal which we prepared together -- a fantastic lunch with Joëlle and her husband, good food and lots of laughter! A must-do activity for someone who like meeting with locals when travels, tastes a bit of the daily life of the locals, not necessarily just for learning cooking. Thank you Joëlle for providing this exceptional activity to the travellers ! It was so memorable and I definitely recommend it !
5Tres magnifique
A truly amazing experience. Joelle was fantastic and so organised. And the meal was magnifique. Highly recommend you do this if you want a real French experience. Wish I could give it a higher score
5Enjoyable Introduction To The Cuisine, Markets and People of Lyon
A wonderful way to learn about the cuisine, the markets and the people of Lyon with a gracious host. Our small group was expertly and warmly led by Joëlle in the kitchen, at the local outdoor market and at the table to eat the food that we prepared. Try to book this experience at the beginning of your visit to Lyon to take advantage of Joëlle’s outstanding restaurant and site seeing recommendations.
5An extremely enjoyable...
An extremely enjoyable experience. Learning to cook in a french style - lots of butter and creme freche and chocolate - a visit to an incredible food market and other good shops in a beautiful and vibrant neighborhood of Lyon - a pleasant social gathering and delicious lunch with our hosts and other travelers in a spectacular home and outdoor space high above the city.

About Lyon
Lyon, where the Rhône and Saône meet, is a Roman and Renaissance city of covered passageways, long called the capital of French cooking.
Lyon spreads across two rivers and two hills. On Fourvière hill, the white basilica looks down over the Roman theatres of Lugdunum, once the capital of Gaul, while the Renaissance old town below has narrow streets and covered passageways, the traboules, that silk workers used to carry cloth. The old town and the slopes of Croix-Rousse, the silk weavers' hill, are part of the UNESCO-listed historic site.
