About Lyon for Solo Travelers

France's gastronomic capital where solo dining at a traditional bouchon is not just acceptable but the ideal way to eat — Lyon's silk-weaving hills, Renaissance old town, and extraordinary food make it a solo traveler's France at its finest.

Solo Travel Tips· Solo Friendly

Lyon is France's gastronomic capital and extraordinary for solo food travelers — a bouchon (traditional Lyon bistro) alone is completely normal here and the food is some of France's finest. The Vieux-Lyon (UNESCO) is beautiful and walkable, and the Croix-Rousse hillside has some of the city's best cafés and canuts (silk weaver) history. The Fête des Lumières (December) is one of Europe's most spectacular free events.
