From the field to the plate through Lyon’s historic spots.
Profile
“I first came from the United States to Lyon on a study abroad program in September 2016. I stuffed my life into two suitcases and got on a one-way flight to a city I’d never heard of until a few months before. Lyon grew on me more quickly than any place I’ve ever been to. Now I spend my days biking around the city, writing, and trying to make everyone else as obsessed with Lyon as I am.”
