The recent Mâchon’Week, organized in Lyon to celebrate this early morning working-class tradition, reminds us how deeply rooted local cuisine is in the city’s identity.
While the event highlights bouchons, Chez Paul didn’t wait for a celebration to defend this heritage.
Since 1928, the restaurant has:
- served uncompromising local cuisine,
- prioritized traditional recipes,
- perpetuated the ritual of sharing and honest dishes,
- kept alive the roguish and convivial spirit of the bouchons of yesteryear.
Chez Paul is not a one-off participant: it is a living witness to this tradition, a place where the “mâchon” could be served every day, so much does the spirit remain the same.
