Self-guided audio tour: Lyonnais gastronomy

Lyon, Capital of Gastronomy

With this self-guided audio-tour designed by Laura, a professional guide who is passionate about her work, discover the history of gastronomy in Lyon, including its art of living, traditions and delicacies! Explore the district with your smartphone, which will begin stories and give directions automatically, at the right place and the right time. Setting off from Rue Royale, where the famous Restaurant de la Mère Brazier was born, follow your guide’s voice on your smartphone, which will tell stories automatically when you reach the spot where they happened.

Along the tour, you will learn about the history of Lyon’s famous Mères Lyonnaises (female cooks), who have influenced the region’s most renowned chefs, and discover Lyon, the city with the most restaurants per capita in France (with 4000 restaurants). Visit a 'bouchon', an authentic local eatery, where you can sample Lyon’s delicious specialities for lunch.

The tour itself is a good idea, and the points of interest chosen certainly relevant. However, I did not find the experience very satisfying:
- some information was not related to gastronomy (e.g. the one about the "beton" guy)
- there could very well have been more gastronomic information
- navigation was sometimes not clear, we got lost a lot
- the navigation on the app is not very good, e.g. the map does not respect the compass, so it was not clear in which direction we were facing
