Rhône extend to the north and south of the city of Lyon . Beaujolais is obviously famous for its wine , as the rolling hills are a patchwork of vineyards , and the pretty villages are wellworth exploring . Further south the landscape becomes more Mediterranean , but there are also areas of natural beauty withr iver valleys , mountains , forests and plains as well as more cultivated areas of vines , fruit and flowers . The villages are delightful , with stone buildings and red roofs . There are also numerous sporting activities and the gastronomy is excellent . Use this area as a stop en route to places further south but also for longer stays of exploring and relaxing : we are sure you will find it very rewarding .

“ Beautiful vineyards , golden villages , plus hills and valleys , castles , fruit and flowers ”

TRAVELLING THERE By air Lyon is the closest international airport . By Eurostar and TGV Via Lille or Paris ( some direct services in summer from London ) and then a hire-car .
