Rhône Alps

Overview:

Many travelers find themselves in the region referred to as the Rhône-Alpes if only to bridge the distance from the ever-popular region of Provence to its south and Burgundy to its north. One can travel the distance easily by the autoroute that traverses its core, but given the luxury of time, the countryside roads expose a lovely countryside and scenic towns. At its heart, the cosmopolitain city of Lyon is considered the gastronomique capital of a country known for its excellence of cuisine!
