Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes

Book a train ticket

Land of relief and volcanoes, the region is located in the middle of the Massif Central. But what would Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes be without the traboules of old Lyon, the supporters of the Saint-Etienne football club and the Gothic cathedral of Clermont-Ferrand? And then how can you resist Savoyard cheeses, Montélimar nougat or a good Auvergne hotpot? It's impossible !

Each season has its advantage! In winter, the many ski resorts are available to you and all the mountain dishes that accompany them too. When the sun returns in spring, admire the landscapes and especially the volcanoes of the region. In summer, no ocean, but magnificent lakes with turquoise waters like those of Annecy or Monteynard-Avignonet. Focus on aquatic activities!

Right here!

Saint-Etienne is the capital of design, astonishing, isn't it? In the 19th century, the city was already the industrial capital of Europe and since then it has not stopped creating! The first railway line was born there, as was one of the first French trams. Even today, Saint-Etienne is designated by Unesco as a “creative city for design”, and it is the only one in France!
