We are very proud to announce the launch of Guide2RhoneAlpes, as part of the worldwide Guide2 network and the 9th site to go live in France.
Guide2RhoneAlpes is working hard to offer, the most comprehensive relevant and up-to-date information about the Rhône-Alpes. We aim to offer a complete view of this beautiful region famed for lakes, mountains, wine and food as well as being a key destination for many extreme sports.
Rhône-Alpes is one of the largest regions in France encompassing 8 departments – Ain, Ardèche, Drôme, Haute-Savoie, Isère, Loire, Rhône & Savoie. Rhône-Alpes has something for everyone, whether it be hurtling down alpine slopes, soaking up the sun next to one of the region’s stunning lakes or indulging in one of the many activities on offer.
Popular areas in Rhône-Alpes include Courchevel, Chamonix and Avoriaz, and the region is also home to Mont Blanc, the highest mountain in Europe. The Loire and the Rhône produce some world famous wines and the Ardèche offers geological marvels attracting visitors from around the world. Lyon, second only in size to Paris is a UNESCO world heritage site and the number one tourist city for the Rhône department. Guide2RhoneAlpes aims to provide information on a wide range of attractions and activities, as well as content on towns and villages.
