Lyon
Pick a venue first. Photographers, planners, florists slot around it. We do the shortlisting for you.
Lyon sits where two rivers meet and the city exhales gastronomy and silk and the sense that everything here was carefully thought through. The Renaissance old town is beautifully preserved. The Basilica on the hill overlooks everything like a stone guardian. The food scene is legendary—this is where modern French cuisine was invented.
Weddings happen May through October. The old town offers medieval settings. The restaurants are world-class—Lyon has more Michelin-starred restaurants than most countries. The local wine comes from the nearby Rhône Valley. The surrounding region offers countryside alternatives. The light is golden and photogenic. Everything in Lyon is focused on food and wine as a kind of religion.
