Why we point you here

One Michelin star modern cuisine in rural Ain—charted territory worth the detour into eastern France.

Poncin isn't where you'd expect to find one Michelin star modern cooking, but that's exactly why it's worth the detour. Out in the Ain countryside, this is the kind of place that gives you permission to roam beyond Lyon and build a night around something unexpected.
