  • Explore Auvergne–Rhône–Alpes: Lyon, Vineyards & Alpine Landscapes

    France’s Most Diverse Mountain-to-City Region
    Auvergne–Rhône–Alpes (often still referred to as Rhône-Alpes) spans an exceptional range of landscapes and experiences—from historic cities and vineyards to Alpine peaks and pristine lakes. Discover the region through our curated Auvergne–Rhône–Alpes tours.

    Lyon: Culture, Heritage and Gastronomy

    A UNESCO City Built for Exploration
    Lyon is renowned for its UNESCO-listed historic center, Renaissance passageways, and vibrant culinary tradition. From Old Lyon and its traboules to riverside neighborhoods, the city offers a rich introduction to French culture and lifestyle.

    Beaujolais and Vineyard Escapes

    Wine Country Just Beyond the City
    Just north of Lyon, the rolling hills of Beaujolais invite relaxed exploration. Vineyard landscapes, small villages, and approachable wines make the area ideal for scenic tastings and countryside escapes.

    These experiences are featured on curated Beaujolais wine tours, easily combined with a stay in Lyon.

    Annecy and Alpine Lakes

    Canals, Mountains and Clear Waters
    Often called the “Venice of the Alps,” Annecy is celebrated for its canals, lakeside setting, and surrounding mountain scenery. Walks along Lake Annecy and viewpoints above the town reveal some of the region’s most iconic landscapes.

    The Alps: Chamonix and High-Mountain Scenery

    At the Foot of Mont Blanc
    In the heart of the French Alps, Chamonix is a legendary destination for dramatic mountain scenery. Cable cars, panoramic viewpoints, and alpine trails provide access to some of Europe’s most impressive high-altitude landscapes.

    Nature Parks and Outdoor Adventures

    Vercors, Chartreuse and Living Landscapes
    Beyond the major Alpine hubs, protected areas such as the Vercors and Chartreuse offer quieter mountain scenery. These landscapes are well suited for hiking, cycling, and discovering rural France at a slower pace.

    Historic Towns and Unique Landmarks

    Unexpected Cultural Discoveries
