Interior photo of gourmet food sold at Les Halles de Lyon Paul Bocuse, built in 1971 in the 3rd arrondissement of Lyon, Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes, France.

Lyon's famed indoor food market has nearly 50 vendors selling countless gourmet delights. Pick up a round of runny St Marcellin from legendary cheesemonger Mère Richard, and a knobbly Jésus de Lyon from Charcuterie Sibilia. Or enjoy a sit-down lunch of local produce, especially enjoyable on Sundays when local families congregate for shellfish and white-wine brunches.
