Let's visit Les Halles de Lyon! | 里昂美食市场
For this MarketFriday, let's go to visit Les Halles de Lyon Paul Bocuse, the legendary indoor food market in Lyon. Lyon is the third-largest city in France, and the number of Michelin-starred restaurants is just after Paris. Renowned as France's gastronomy capital, Lyon has a rich foodie heritage.
The local chef Paul Bocuse has been respected here as the grandfather of its culinary scene. He dedicated his life to establishing quality restaurants that boast various genres and innovative cooking. It's this market from where he got his supplies for his restaurants. He also started a cooking school for amateur chefs. So it's not hard to see why the Lyon Market is named after him. You can see him portrayed in the mural in the first picture that I took right opposite the market. He passed away in January 2018, and on the front door of the market, it affectionately says "Merci Monsieur Paul".
This market is known for its fine quality produce, such as St-Marcellin cheese, Beaujolais wine, sausage rosette de Lyon, Charolais beef... When I visited it last month, there were 56 shops, cafes and bistros inside, and it's open from Monday to Sunday. I guess it's especially crowded on weekends, as there were people literally everywhere. Most eaters were enjoying fresh oysters with lemon and ice. You will see the store categories, locations and opening time at the end of my post. If interested, you can find more information about this market here.
这星期的“周五集市”请跟我到里昂有名的保罗·博古斯食品市场瞧一瞧。里昂是法国第三大城，其米其林星级餐厅的数量仅次于巴黎，被一些食评人称为法国美食之都。
城内的窄街小巷里遍布本土特色鲜明的家庭小餐馆bouchon，起源于19世纪。当时里昂是欧洲的丝织业中心，成就了一批富有的资产阶级。而在这些家庭里当厨娘的不少妇人后来在战乱时期丢掉了饭碗，于是她们开始创业，开出了自己的小餐馆，用料新鲜，厨艺娴熟，价格便宜，这种家的味道得到纺织工人喜爱，后来又逐渐吸引了其他阶层食客。
这些可爱的“里昂妈妈”和她们的家庭餐馆被视为当地美食文化的起源，她们也影响培育了一大批杰出的当代大厨，比如保罗·博古斯。这位本土主厨2018年刚刚离世，一生钻研烹饪，开的餐厅以创新的技法和广泛的品类而著称，深受当地人尊重和爱戴。这座市场就以他的名字来命名，对面楼房的墙上可以看到描绘他的壁画，在入口的玻璃门上还写着：谢谢你，保罗先生。
In the 19th century, Lyon was famed as Europe's silk-weaving capital. Its bouchons, the lively and homely bistros were popular then among the silk weavers. Many women who cooked for local bourgeois families started to open their own restaurants after losing jobs between the wars. These Mothers of Lyon were known for their simple but well-prepared and inexpensive dishes using local rustic ingredients. They initially fed workers, and later also attracted people from other walks of life. The mothers inspired many great chefs, including Paul Bocuse. They are recognized as the origin of Lyon's culinary reputation. It's lovely to see the descriptions and photos of these Lyon Mothers on the wall of the market:
The quenelles (creamed fish dumplings) below is a local specialty that I tried later in a bouchon with lobster sauce and Rice Pilaf. I didn't sit to eat inside the market as it's completely packed. For the same reason, I didn't take many photos either. It's even difficult to walk through those narrow passageways filled with people. The only thing I tried my mouth on was Lyon's iconic praline shortbread topped with nuts coated in pink sugar, yummy!

為什麼要黑白照😢
为突出吃的多彩 你给了我下一篇灵感 那里有黑白食物
芝麻糊？🤣
🤣也是 想起个段子：美术老师让画吃的 某学生把白纸全涂黑 “你这画的什么？”“紫菜。”
那麼麻煩，我直接撕開一塊塊弄刀削麵就好了
“画”吃的 你是做吃的
Unbelievable! Mon dieu! Wow! The sights! The sounds! The smells! Just close your eyes in the middle of all that and the aroma hits you from all sides! What a wonderful memento left to him on the doors. Au Revoir, Paul. ❤️
You have made such an amazing post, both in tracing the history and sharing the pictures. I thoroughly enjoyed the food shots, each and every one of them making its own memory. I have to say that you made this #MarketFriday a memorable one and I can see why you make such a valuable Hivean! You put 125% on all of your work!
You are killing me now!!! Love, love, love! I want to apologize to you as I upvoted and reposted this when it first arrived, yet, when I went to comment on the #MarketFriday posts, there were 4 posts that wouldn't come up. There are enough of them, I didn't even realize it happened. I came upon another and looked this morning for others that were missing and found yours. I am so sorry it took me so long to comment! I reposted so hopefully it got a little more coverage. Honestly, I wish I had these kinds of posts every day!!!
I loved reading this post! #MarketFriday has evolved over time from straight shopping to a cultural affair as it highlights how we differ and then again, how much we are alike. We have become a melting pot of culture, but, it is still the Rituals, Festivals, food, architecture, even your language/languages that separate us... Along with the fact of what is normal for where you live? These are unwritten rules that rule our social behaviors. I see this as allowing for increased tolerance between cultures and nations, and opportunities to come together on an even playing ground. A strong culture can be beneficial to a country as it promotes unity, especially during a crisis, peaceful debate, and open dialogue. I can only hope this to be true.
