Rhone Alpes Tourism Attractions

Situated between Paris and the Côte d’Azur, on the border with both Switzerland and Italy, and offering access to two international airports (Lyon and Geneva), impressive rail connections and a vast motorway network, the Rhône-Alpes region is literally at the crossroads of Europe.

Boasting 8 natural parks and peerless sites such as Mont Blanc and the Gorges de l’Ardèche, Rhône-Alpes offers a wide range of different landscapes: mountains, vineyards and gentle valleys, fields of lavender and olive groves.

In the Rhône-Alpes, water is everywhere: from snow to glacier ice, rivers and streams to lakes… The region lies where three of France’s biggest lakes are to be found (Lake Geneva, Lac du Bourget and Lac d’Annecy).

Every form of sport is readily available, set against an impressive natural backdrop: hiking, mountain biking or even paragliding and canoeing… Rhône-Alpes is not only the second most important golfing region in France with over 60 courses but it also has the largest ski area in the world and has hosted the Winter Olympics three times.

Enthusiasts of art and culture will not be disappointed by the region’s Villes d’Art: Lyon, which is classified by UNESCO as a World Heritage site, Annecy, Grenoble, Chambéry, and Saint Etienne.

And last but not least, connoisseurs of good food and wine will be spoilt by the wide range of local specialities available to taste along with a Beaujolais or a Côtes du Rhône, as well as by the sheer number of famous restaurants (with Paul Bocuse at the top of the list) in the region.
