Cité internationale de la gastronomie de Lyon, Gastronomy museum in Hôtel-Dieu, Lyon, France
The Cité Internationale de la Gastronomie de Lyon is a gastronomy museum in a historic hospital building that presents exhibitions about cooking and food. The building contains several galleries and outdoor spaces where visitors can learn about French ingredients and cooking traditions.
The building dates to the 12th century and was redesigned in the 18th century by a major French architect. The gastronomy museum opened only a few years ago within this renovated space.
The museum shows how food and cooking are part of everyday life in Lyon and what role local products play in the kitchen. The exhibitions help visitors understand how these traditions remain alive in the city's restaurants and markets today.
The museum is easy to reach by public transit and is centrally located in the city. Visitors should check opening days in advance, as the museum does not open every day.
The museum offers hands-on cooking demonstrations and tastings where local producers and chefs directly share their knowledge with visitors. These activities let visitors taste regional flavors and learn from experts working in the field.
