ITINERARY HIGHLIGHTS BERZE-LE-CHATEL: SOUTHERN BURGUNDY'S BIGGEST FORTRESS A jewel of Southern Burgundy, this imposing hilltop fortress offers a superb panorama of the vineyards of the Solutré Valley and is the most important and best preserved fortress of Burgundy. Built from the 11th to 15th century around its Carolingian chapel, this castle retains all its defensive system, 13 towers, including two dungeons, its impressive gatehouse and medieval halls. Two terraces of the castle are decorated with various gardens, earning the label "Remarkable Garden" since 2011.
LYON: FRANCE'S CULINARY CAPITAL For over 80 years, Lyon has been recognized as the food capital of France. Because of its geographic location, it has access to the finest and freshest ingredients. Lyon is home to more than a dozen Michelin star restaurants and is the exclusive home of bouchons—restaurants serving traditional cuisine. At the heart of the city is a mecca for taste buds, the world-famous Les Halles de Lyon Paul Bocuse—named after France’s top chef, dubbed the Pope of French cuisine. His legacy is everywhere, especially at the Institut Paul Bocuse and at his three Michelin-star restaurants.
