French + wine

Like the olive tree, the vine also belongs to the Mediterranean. For thousands of years, wine and the vine have been part of everyday life and celebrations. But not just any old wine... only those delicious wines with great names, vintages and reputations.

The flow of rivers has always meant fertile lands and growing grapes. Wine growing has always been tied in with the history of man with its amphorae and casks! So it’s no surprise that Lyon on the Rhône river is the capital of gastronomy and wine growing. The Côtes du Rhône and Beaujolais are on the city’s doorstep. As for the city of Lyon and its inhabitants: you’ll be welcomed with open arms.

The best way to learn and understand a language, a country and its inhabitants is to visit its vineyards and explore its cellars. Listening to the praise that the people of Lyon heap on their wine helps to loosen the tongue!
