Paul Bocuse

Auberge du Pont de Collonges

The home base of the master of all chefs, "Monsieur Paul", this restaurant held 3 Michelin stars for a record 55 years, dropping to two only after his death in 2018. Classic French cuisine, with an extortionate price tag; by all accounts the food remains very good, but there are definitely cheaper options around.

Address: 40, quai de la Plage, 69660 Collonges-au-Mont-d'Or

Ile Barbe
This charming island on the river Saône is the only inhabited island in Lyon. In the 5th century, one of the first monasteries in Gaul was founded there. It became a powerful Benedictine abbey (from the 9th century) but was finally ruined in 1526 by Protestants, during the religious wars. Of the three churches that existed on the island, only the Romanesque Notre-Dame remains. The island also has other old buildings in a quiet and green environment. The suspension bridge was built in 1827.
