Janet, I was in Lyon for a gastronomy tour in April, and I agree with Max – there are very few gotchas in France. Wine is often sold by the carafe instead of the glass, so be aware of that re: price versus how much you're getting. Overall, wine is inexpensive compared to the prices state-side.And, if you're looking to cut costs like I always am, France is full of public markets and little food shops where you can buy a block of cheese, some fruit, and a baguette for lunch, for just a few Euros. A final tip for a lower-cost meal – Many towns in France have what are called bouchons – little traditional bistros. These offer classic French food without the white table cloth. ;) Have fun! jaclyn, GoNomad writerhttp://www.gonomad.com/destinations/0807/lyon-france-gastronomy-capital.html
