7. Lyon, France
One of the major factors that draws people to Lyon is the food. Most tourists are drawn to Paris for the food, too, but people who are in the know all say that Lyon is the place to go. Lyon has more restaurants per capita than any other city in France. Lyonnais food uses the best ingredients, and prepares them simply.
