Revered by many as the capital of the French culinary industry, Lyon is the third-largest city in France. When you get there, don't miss out on the flavorful adventures Lyon has in store for everyone who seeks it out. Basilica of Notre-Dame de Fourvière Lyon has a unique cityscape that created the identity of France's urban essentials. One of the most important pieces in this cityscape is the scenic Basilica of Notre-Dame de Fourvière. This hilltop church offers the best views in the city. Both locals and tourists make the morning walk up the hill to drink in the breathtaking view. This place lights up the brightest in December during the Festival of Lights. But any time of the year, the Basilica of Notre-Dame de Fourvière is still a great place to go to whenever you're in Lyon. Roman Amphitheater Built to ensure the uniformity of Roman living throughout their colonies, the amphitheaters in Arles still bring in the thrills in Lyon. You can't miss this iconic landmark, the public transport system in the city can easily take you there. Here's a quick hack—the F1 train takes you to the bottom of the amphitheater which has a relatively shorter line compared to the entrance at the Fourviere. Jewish Lyon Lyon is an easy favorite in Jewish travel itineraries. Legends say that the Jews found Lyon after being dragged out to sea by the Roman emperor Vespasian. The tale continues saying that divine guidance drove their rudderless ship towards the Rhône river where they established the first Jewish community in Arles and later expanded to Lyon.

When you’re a kosher traveller with dietary restrictions, it’s hard to adjust to the local availability of food and beverage. Often, travel is associated with engaging in the local culture. With that in mind, food never gets out of the picture. Although Jewish trips have a wider selection for kosher travellers, the interest to explore new cities cannot be circumvented nor avoided. Tips for Kosher Travelers:
Kosher touring can be challenging for practitioners. Comparably, accommodating travellers following a dietary restriction is also difficult for tourist managers and hotel staff because of the wide diversification of their market. Availability of kosher food in the locality truly remains a difficult verification for practitioners if they don’t put in enough research. Fortunately, several hotel accommodations and global cruise companies like Kosher River Cruises provide kosher culinary cuisine and arrangements applicable to kosher living. Preparing a home-cooked meal can be the best option when travelling, but it’s always guaranteed calm and balmy to take a holiday without having to stress out the accessibility of allowed food options. |
