Discover Auvergne–Rhône–Alpes from Lyon with small-group tours, private excursions and multi-day packages. Explore Lyon’s UNESCO-listed old town and thriving food scene, taste Beaujolais and northern Rhône wines, then head to Alpine icons like Annecy and Chamonix to enjoy lakes, mountain views, charming towns and outdoor experiences across one of France’s most diverse regions.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Unexpected Cultural Discoveries
Cities such as Grenoble add depth through museums, history, and a strong alpine identity, while unusual landmarks like the Palais Idéal reflect the region’s creative spirit.
