With one of the cleanest lakes in Europe, this is worth a relaxing stop for 2-3 days to amble along the lakeshore, take a boat excursion on the glacial-fed turquoise lake, hike or cycle, try some delicious raclette and make sure to wander beside the canals of the old town at night with glowing lanterns. Wonderful.

Lorenzo was an excellent and fun instructor. I had never snowboarded before and am now able to do most slopes. He met us in St Martin (travelling over from Val Thorens) and was always early. Thank you Lorenzo

The best part of Lyon: fascinating and friendly. Wander around: get lost among the charming streets, stop for a drink or food at one of the many excellent cafes and restaurants.

This is a very beautiful church and the mosaics and ceiling are amazing and the view over Lyon is amazing as well. You can either take the tram or walk up. Its very easy to reach from old town

This museum surprised us with its beautiful exhibitions. In particular, the Picasso war exhibition was fantastic. In the museum they have paintings done by famous painters as well as gorgeous works of art by unknown ones (at least to me). Highly recommend!
8. Puy-de-Dome Volcano

This was the highlight of our trip to the Clermont-Ferrand area. The hike to the top is about 1 to 1.5 hours depending on your pace. It does get a little more strenuous as you get the the top - and quite steep on the way down, so wear proper hiking shoes. Foe those with mobility issues (or young children) there is the option of taking a train, but if you're able-bodied, you'll want the experience of the hike! There is a middle option - there's a parking lot a little higher up the mountain that cuts about 20-30 minutes off the hike. That lots tends to fill up before the lower lot tough, so go early if you plan to be use that option. There's also a restaurant and a restroom at the upper parking lot. The views along the way are breathtaking. The height of Puy de Dôme is 1,465-metres. At the summit, it's nothing short of magical! We were fortunate enough to be there on a clear day where we had a perfect view of the Chaîne des Puys (volcanoes), Monts Dore and Monts du Forez mountains, Clermont-Ferrand and the Limagne plain. There's a path around the summit so you can take in the full panoramic view. I was shocked to see how many sheep were at the summit! The summit also provides restroom facilities, restaurant, gift shop, ruins of a Gallo-Roman temple, a meteorological observatory and a visitor information center. It took us 75 minutes to hike to the summit and about 45 minutes to go down because we went with the momentum and were basically running all he way down. Be careful - it gets slippery!! This is definitely something not to be missed! Bring a refillable water bottle and wear proper hiking shoes. It was hot when we went, but if you're visiting in cooler months you may ant to bring a light jacket for when you're at the summit.
