LYON, France—Already a busy chef, Régis Marcon, owner of the Michelin star-rated restaurant Le Clos des Cimes, has been involved in an ambitious project: creating the International City of Gastronomy hosted within Lyon, itself recognized as the gastronomic capital of France, and by some accounts, Europe.
The project focuses on the connection between food and health, and facilitates discussion on healthy and eco-friendly food of tomorrow. It also showcases the role gastronomy plays in the world.
