The International City of Gastronomy

Entrée par la place de l'Hôpital

Thierry Fournier - Métropole de Lyon

Description

Following an initial opening in September 2019, the CIG soon had to close due to the pandemic. In September 2020, Greater Lyon reopened the most iconic parts of the Grand Hôtel-Dieu building, as well as the Hôpital de la Charité, making them free to access for visitors.

Today, a new plan has been launched that is more in phase with today’s challenges, involving all stakeholders in the local area. The future plan for Lyon’s CIG aims to be as innovative and forward-looking as the history of the building it is located in, by engaging with the economic and environmental challenges of tomorrow’s food. It will be a place where people can come to work, exchange, promote, experiment and innovate. The focus will be as much on Michelin-starred cuisine as it is on everyday food, going beyond the boundaries of gastronomy.

The new CIG will no longer be just a museum, but a place that brings together several worlds:
- a city for children: a place to learn about taste, at “children’s eye level”, which is accessible to all audiences.
- a city that represents the food industry: a unifying place, open to participation by all people working in the areas of gastronomy, catering, farming, food and health.
- a city that welcomes experimentation and encourages learning: promoting sustainable food that is open to all.
