Château Arfeuilles in the heart of France

France has always been known for its refined cuisine.

​

There are therefore plenty of options for eating out.

​

From a simple meal in a village cafe to an extensive dinner in a chic restaurant. People are proud of local delicacies , and a lot of local products are used, such as the meat of the charolais cows, cheeses from Auvergne and wine from Saint-Pourcain.

​

In Lapalisse you will find several restaurants, such as

Le Moulin Marin which is located in a converted watermill.

​

But you can also visit this village for a pizza. In Le Mayet de Montagne you can eat in the cozy Vieille Auberge with its traditional cuisine.

​

The French are used to an extensive dinner at noon. You can also go to many village cafes for a ' plat du jour' (daily menu). You usually get an excellent meal for a very reasonable price.

​

If you want to eat really luxurious once, you can make a reservation in Troanne with Troisgros. This restaurant has had three Michelin stars for quite some time.

If some day, you were to go to Lyon, you could go to a star restaurant of the famous Paul Bocuse.

It is funny to know, that he once came cycling down from the hills, as a little boy, and after his journey of fifteen miles he volunteered as an apprentice chef. Thanks to his perseverance he now holds a series of top restaurants. A must is the brasserie where Paul Bocuse used to work as a boy and which is now owned by his family: Brasserie Le Nord, 18 rue Neuve,

Lyon +33 472106969.

The most popular restaurant in the city, especially at lunch

(€ 27.50 for 3 courses). Here you will find all Paul Bocuse 's Brasseries.

​

Sadly enough Paul Bocuse passed away in Jan. 2018. But fortunately, his son Jérôme Bocuse continues his work.

​

In the Michelin guide you will find all restaurants in Lyon (and all of France) (here all restaurants in Lyon with Michelin stars).
