Guinguette spirit | Ars Trévoux Tourist Office: Accommodation, restaurants and events just a stone's throw from Lyon

What's for dinner?

It’s up to you to decide: finger-licking cuisine (with fresh, local ingredients cooked on site) at the Maison Eclusière de Parcieux and at La Roue Libre Trévoux, café vélo; or three-course meals in restaurants (with, why not, the small plates in the big)?

Whether you’re in the mood for a plancha-style aperitif, a burger, veggie burritos or a full menu, traditional fried foods and frogs or meat dishes, you’re bound to find a menu to suit your taste. In fact, you’ll be spoilt for choice in the dozen or so establishments on the banks of the Saône that stretch from Fareins to Massieux.

La guinguette

to celebrate!

As you’ll have gathered, a guinguette is ultimately more about ambience, an atmosphere in which you feel good, than a type of establishment with a specific cuisine.

Besides, for ambience too, it’s up to you to set the cursor according to your desires. If you want to move and sing (“faire p’ter la pantoufle”, as we’d say in Beaujolais), we recommend the concerts organized at the Maison Eclusière de Parcieux whose stage overlooks the Saône, rather oriented towards world music, or at the café-vélo La Roue Libre Trévoux with its more jazz/pop/rock tones.

If you prefer a more subdued atmosphere, the restaurants Le Petit Port, l’Embarcadère, Chez Bibet, Belle Rives Braises et Condiments, La Maison Bleue or Les Petites Voiles will be more suitable. They’re sure to offer you the emblematic fritures and grenouilles, but not only.
