Gourmet hen weekends in Lyon

Brides- to-be who intend to bid a stylish farewell to their single life will be delighted to know that Flavours of France are now offering hen weekends in Lyon. These weekends will be fun and tasteful - and any bride who chooses one will be the toast of her friends. Lyon is widely acknowledged as being the gourmet capital of France, and Flavours of France will be able to introduce hens to some amazing food and wine. The bride to be and her guests will enjoy a cookery class, or classes, taught by a handsome, young French chef. The cookery classes are great fun, and hen parties will be able to gossip over the meal they have just produced, expertly-paired wine in hand. Of course, classes are an excellent way to learn show-stopping dishes that will delight friends and family, and also romantic dishes that will impress suitably deserving husbands, partners and fiancés. Flavours of France will work with hens to create an itinerary that best reflects their interests and personality. As well as cookery classes, the company can arrange wine tasting classes and tours, including to the Beaujolais region, and guided tours of Les Halles, the premier food market in all of France. Lyon is a vibrant yet compact city, and accommodation is in Lyon city centre, which allows hen parties to make the most of their free time.  A hen party could include teenage sisters or an older aunty, or simply be a group of like-minded friends - and everyone will be able to find something they enjoy. Groups can have a meal at a bouchon, one of the small restaurants for which the city is famous, and go shopping in the stylish Presqu'île district. Or they can check out Lyon's historical and cultural attractions. Few hen nights are complete without some dancing; there are several fantastic clubs on riverboats moored on the Rhone, which are both glamorous and friendly. Anika Patel, founder of Flavours of France, said "We're offering relaxed, bespoke hen weekends that are based around fantastic food, which everyone will love. Our hen holidays are the chance for you and your guests to do something different and enjoy each other's company away from wedding organisation - although you might find that being in beautiful surroundings with some of the people who matter most to you will lead to inspired wedding planning!"
