The County is taking over Lyon for 5 days
After 7 consecutive years in the Jura, the event Le Temps du Comté is coming to Lyon for the first time from September 18 to 22. To celebrate this unique cheese that makes an entire region proud, there will be gourmet meals, fun activities, and tastings. One of the main highlights of this event will be the chance to sit around the massive iconic table shaped like a cheese wheel with 150 seats. This grand table will be set under the historic vaults of the Subsistances. It’s an event that will showcase star chefs and the Best Craftsmen of France to elevate this exceptional cheese.
