In this episode, I take you to Lyon, a city most people overlook when they think of France. We explore how Lyon became the gastronomic capital of the country, not thanks to famous chefs but thanks to women who were fired from their jobs and opened their own restaurants. We walk through the old town and its hidden passageways called traboules, discover the silk workers' neighborhood of La Croix Rousse, and learn the local expressions that only Lyonnais use.
