Bourg-en-Bresse (Bresse Chicken AOC) ★ 4.4
Bourg-en-Bresse is the capital of the Bresse chicken AOC, 55 minutes from Lyon, where the blue-legged birds with their blue-white-red colouring have held.
TipBook lunch at a Bressan ferme-auberge a week ahead; the Dombes ponds nearby are worth a 20-min drive.
Macon (Southern Burgundy) ★ 4.3
Macon is the southern gateway to Burgundy, 65 km north of Lyon, where the Macon-Villages and Pouilly-Fuisse appellations produce crisp Chardonnay.
TipHire a car at Macon station; the best Pouilly-Fuisse estates cluster around Fuisse and Solutre-Pouilly.
Annecy (Alpine Lake Bistros) ★ 4.5
Annecy on the alpine lake east of Lyon runs lakeside bistros pouring Savoy white wines and serving the lake's signature fera (perch) alongside tartiflette.
TipThe old town along Rue Sainte-Claire is the bistro strip; summer-weekend lakeside seating books a fortnight ahead.
Ile Barbe (Saone island stop) ★ 4.0
Ile Barbe in the 9e is the Saone island just north of central Lyon, home to Philippe-Marc Jocteur's flagship bakery and a riverside park; the dining options.
TipPair the Jocteur bakery stop with the Quai Pierre Scize walk; the island is small and a short visit.
Saint-Etienne (Forez gastronomy) ★ 4.0
Saint-Etienne, 50 minutes south of Lyon, runs a working bistro scene around the Place du Peuple and the Saturday Marche de Bergson, with Forez cheeses.
TipSaturday is the strongest market day; the design biennale takes over the food programme on alternate years.
Beaujolais Wine Villages ★ 4.7
The Beaujolais Cru villages lie 30 to 55 minutes north of Lyon, where ten AOC Crus produce Gamay wines of genuine depth. Booking recommended.
TipHire a car for the Route des Crus; public transport reaches Romanèche-Thorins but not the smaller villages.
