An entree from Le Fleurie
And by places, I mostly mean restaurants!     My &#8220;hands-down&#8221; favorite restaurant in Lyon is Le Fleurie in the 7eme arrondisement, but it is only open during the week for lunch.  My husband and I try to eat here at least once a month!  ~15E for lunch, very gourmet and [...]]]></description>
