Hi Folks,

I'm starting to plan the itinerary for our trip to France this summer. We'll be cruising in the Provance/Burgundy region for 7 days, then heading to Paris for 4 nights. While cruising, I think I'll have time to pop out for lunch in a few cities. My initial dining selections are:

• Arles: L’Atelier
• Macon: Restaurant Pierre
• Lyon: Le Neuvième Art or Mère Brazier

In Paris, I'm thinking about skipping the Michelin guide and just going with good, local food.

We tend to like modern/creative food with a strong focus on presentation, and we want to get to know the food of the region well. We are not picky and will eat most anything.

How did I do? Am I missing something in these three cities, or in Paris?
