The bst boucherons are the traffic jams, complete with confiture.

I should think someone with the handle wordsmith would know better, but are you really looking for a woodcutter/logger or what?

Just for those wondering what a "bouchon" is in Lyon (not a "boucheron"), it is what you same people call a "bistrot" in Paris (which we call a "restaurant" since a "bistrot" is a bar).

Funny I posted after StCirq and my post went to the top.

there is a lot of really good bouchons in Lyon, most of them are located in the old city.
One of my favorite is "Abel". The "Vivarais" is also a really good one.

Here is a list of good restaurants in Lyon, you have a section about bouchons.
