When it comes to wines, i prefer the Burgundy region for sure, but as far as Michelin, I prefer to make my own mind.

Come on Sean Trane, you must be kidding!! Lyon had never been France's gastronomic capital!
Have you ever visited Bordeaux?  Not only the best wine, trust me |
Lyon - Gastronomic Capital? Nah, I'm with Urs Blank on this one, Bordeaux has much more to offer, as do some nice small places in either Alsace and Provence.

Just look it up in ant tourist guide, it's written
If you don't trust me, trust Michelin. 
Guillaume,
I know Bordeaux, but the wines don't make everything... The people from Bordeaux have the best opinions of themselves, but they tend to ignore there is a world out there.
Plus Lyon has Burgundy, Beaujolais Maconnais and the North Rhone valley (Cote Rotie, Hermitage, St Joseph)

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword
