A Gift idea from the town of Lyon - Whimsical Blackboard Menu items

The boutique, Les Ardoises de Lyon, sells handcrafted slate decorations. In French bistros, menus are often written on slate boards cut into whimsical shapes, such as roosters, pigs, or chef’s hats. You can find these boards here, in many different forms and sizes, all hand cut from the regional stone. They make great gifts and they are flat—which makes them super easy to pack! Les Ardoises de Lyon 3 Rue Soufflot, Lyon www.lesardoisesdelyon.com Open Wednesday – Sunday, noon to 7 p.m. In December: open daily noon to 7 p.m.
