Holiday information about Rhône-Alpes

Rhône-Alpes

Rhône Alpes where hiking and winter sports merge.When you decide to rent a villa in the Rhône Alpes you will end up in one of the most fragrant and colourful areas of France. Characteristic are the white snowy peaks of the Alps in the east and the wide valleys with gentle rivers inland. Expansive vineyards and deep purple lavender fields complete the palette.On the way to your villa we advise you to make a virtue of necessity; drive out of the traffic jam near Lyon and discover this beautiful city. Have lunch on the quayside by the river, take a boat trip or take the hop on / hop off bus. Find out that Lyon is very much like Paris, but in arelaxed form. At the end of the afternoon you drive quietly to your villa.We have a wonderful selection of villas for you in the Ardèche and the Drôme; please give them a look.

Impressive gorges have been formed in the Ardèche and therefore they are quite famous. Vallon Pont d’Arc is a natural limestone arch over the river: to see this with your own eyes is even more impressive. Canoes can be rented in the adjacent village: this is the ideal starting point for a beautiful river trip. The already beautiful nature looks completely different from the water. The nature in the Ardèche is rugged, then friendly and that variation makes walking, cycling and canoeing trips very worthwhile.

In many ways, the Drôme resembles the Ardèche. It might be a bit rougher. The Alps and Provence are both part of the beautiful Drôme, which provides impressive contrasts. Deep purple lavender fields, immense fruit orchards, vineyards that yield a beautiful harvest on the most impossible slopes. There are renowned wineries where you can taste the best Côtes duRhône wines. Due to its relatively low altitude, the weather in the Drôme is a good sun holiday destination from early spring to late autumn.
