Lyon's beloved bouchons have been instrumental in the success of female chefs who are now preserving the centuries-old tradition of mâchon, a hearty breakfast featuring offals and wine. Originally catering to the local silk workers, mâchon is more than just a meal; it's a cultural phenomenon. Women like Florence Perrier are at the forefront of this movement, ensuring that mâchon continues to thrive as a community-centered affair, separate from tourist attractions, thereby keeping the true essence of Lyonnais cuisine alive and vibrant.
Mâchon became a cultural institution in Lyon, traditionally served from local bouchons to hungry workers, emphasizing community and the preservation of culinary heritage.
According to Florence Perrier, owner of Le Café du Peintre, people often come once or twice a week for Mâchon, showcasing its strong local appeal and connection.
