Day 12: Roanne to Lyon

Good evening live from Paul Bocuse.

What an amazing day. We just had a little champagne in the kitchen with Paul Bocuse himself.

After eating at Paul Bocuse for many years, my dad is friends with the second in command, and he allowed us to spend some time in the kitchen.

Today we had a lovely bike ride through Roanne. The weather wad twenty degrees cooler than any other day so far, making the ride significantly more enjoyable.

But I must also include some photos from the TroisGros kitchen late last night

Tomorrow we drive to Annecy and bike around the lake, which was last years Tour de France time trial.

Until next post
