Lyon Biennale : Our Perfect Day of Contemporary Art and Gastronomy
A Day of Contemporary Art and Lyon’s Heritage
With each edition of the Lyon Biennale of Contemporary Art, the city becomes a true playground for artistic discovery. Exhibitions, installations and iconic venues invite visitors to experience Lyon from a fresh perspective.
For this edition, the Musée des Tissus joins the Biennale’s exhibition programme. Located just a short walk from the Grand Hôtel-Dieu, it offers the perfect opportunity to enjoy a day where culture, heritage and gastronomy come together.
Take a Lunch Break Between Exhibitions
After a morning spent exploring the exhibitions, lunch becomes an experience in its own right.
Just a few minutes from the Musée des Tissus, Epona welcomes visitors in the elegant setting of the Grand Hôtel-Dieu. The daily menu is ideal for a leisurely lunch between visits, while the à la carte menu invites you to extend the experience with contemporary French cuisine.
When the weather allows, Epona Côté Jardin, the restaurant’s leafy terrace, is also the perfect place to enjoy lunch outdoors before continuing your Biennale itinerary.
Explore the Heart of Lyon During the Biennale
The experience doesn’t end when you leave the exhibition spaces.
From the Grand Hôtel-Dieu, Place Bellecour, the Rhône riverbanks and Lyon’s city centre are all just a short walk away. Between remarkable architecture, historic landmarks and contemporary art, every stroll reveals another side of the city.
This central location makes the neighbourhood an ideal starting point for exploring the Biennale’s many venues.
A Day Combining Culture and Gastronomy
The Biennale is also an opportunity to experience Lyon in a different way.
Alternating between exhibitions, discovering different neighbourhoods and enjoying a leisurely lunch is the perfect way to experience this major cultural event while discovering Lyon’s renowned art of living.
Epona naturally becomes part of that experience, offering a welcoming place to pause before continuing your cultural journey or exploring more of the city.
