France for Food & Wine: Lyon, Dijon & Strasbourg

The gastronomic capital, Burgundy’s wine city and Alsace’s winstubs, by train.

Eat your way across France: Lyon’s bouchons and food halls, Dijon on the edge of Burgundy’s vineyards, then Strasbourg’s half-timbered Alsatian old town where French and German kitchens meet.

Why it works

These three cities each anchor a great French food region and sit neatly on the rail network, so the trip is short hops between very different tables.
