Before spending your euros on this much-ballyhooed attraction, check your expectations
Cité Internationale de la Gastronomie de Lyon
After reading up on medicinal herbs and early modern medicine, you’ll move on to the Bon Appétit room, where food-obsessed francophiles can view Paul Bocuse’s cooking range and get an overview of local gastro-celebrities such as the Mères Lyonnaises , a cadre of female chefs who, beginning in the 18th century, struck out on their own and laid the groundwork for the city’s refined comfort-food cuisine that remains a mainstay of bouchons . So far, so good.
Above all, sticker shock is the main gripe. It costs €12 to see the permanent exhibit and another €12 to participate in the tasting, which includes a beverage but not enough food for a meal. Spring for a guided tour, and you’re out another €7. Bonnetain acknowledged that the prices are higher than average but also notes that many museums receive government subsidies. “We don’t have those here—it’s a fully private project, even if the initial investment was from public services,” he said.
