Thank you for your suggestions. Perhaps I should say that we were in Paris for New Year's Eve 2002 and found that every restaurant there (ordinary ones, nothing special) had only 100 euro dinners that night. So my assumption is that the same will be true in Lyon. Any suggestions about how I could find out in advance if that is true? Our French is good enough to enable us to read menus and order, and to allow us to communicate slowly. We would have trouble participating in an ordinary conversation among French-speakers. Does that change your advice? I was very intersted in comments I found here about a place called Poivre Ane. Would that, or something like it, be good for this situation? Thank you.
