Welcome to Lyon, the city of a thousand flavors and captivating history. Today, I take you to discover an emblematic place of the French Resistance during the Second World War: the Bouchon Le Garet.
Located in the heart of Vieux Lyon, Bouchon Le Garet is much more than just a traditional restaurant. It is steeped in memory and courage, testifying to the crucial role it played in the fight against Nazi occupation.
As you enter this place full of history, you will notice a discreet plaque, recalling the place invariably occupied by Jean Moulin, one of the most important figures of the French Resistance. Jean Moulin, unifier of the resistance movements and symbol of the fight for freedom, stood here, on the right as you enter, his back to the wall, determinedly monitoring the comings and goings.
Despite the years that have passed, Le Garet remains open today, perpetuating the tradition of Lyonnaise gastronomy and preserving the memory of the heroic acts that took place there. By tasting the authentic dishes of the region, you can soak up the atmosphere full of history that still reigns within these walls.
Whether you want to enjoy a delicious meal or delve into the fascinating past of the French Resistance, Le Bouchon Le Garet offers a unique experience, where gastronomy and history come together harmoniously.
