Rhones-Alpes

Rhone-Alps

A region flagged by the peaks of it mountains where hiking and winter sports are king.

Springing from a glacier, the Rhône River flows south through France toward the sunshine of the Mediterranean. Its broad valley embraces thriving cities, Roman ruins, medieval castles, fabled vineyards and the snowy peaks of the French Alps.
