Gala dinner venue unveiled…*hint* Bocuse!
For The Web Conference gala dinner on Thursday 26th April, 50 indoor market vendors will serve a vast diversity of produce in a « balade gourmande » (gourmet stroll) style: shellfish and seafood, delicatessen, dried meats and poultry, truffles, fruits and vegetables, baked goods and pastries, cheese, chocolates, wines and spirits and more… at none other than the famous Les Halles de Lyon – Paul Bocuse.
The Web Conference has managed to privatize this internationally reputed historical indoor food market that has offered the very finest gourmet food since 1971!
It is one of the reasons that Lyon is dubbed France’s capital of gastronomy. An incredible variety of the finest quality food all assembled under one roof:
