What to do and see in Rhône-Alpes, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes: The Best Geologic Formations
From the rare truffles of the Drôme to the vineyards of Beaujolais, the Rhone-Alps reveal the treasures of French cuisine. Gastronomic pleasures are complemented by the lush countryside, filled with fields of lavender. UNESCO-designated Lyon has first-century Roman ruins and the 19th-century Basilica of Fourvière. Forts and castles dot the landscape around Grenoble. Work off excess calories on the slopes of Chamonix and Megève. Visit during fall to take advantage of the grape harvest and many festivals.

Les Gorges du Fier is definitely worth a visit - it's beautiful to walk through. We were there towards the end of August and went early in the morning which I would recommend to avoid the heat of the day. It's also better to go earlier to avoid the crowds, whilst not huge, there are parts of the walk where it's single person due to rocks poking out onto the walkway. As far as getting there, we organised a taxi from the tourist centre in Annecy which cost about 30 euros - not cheap, but the public transport is complicated to get there otherwise. And the restrooms are dodgy, to say the least. But aside from that, totally worth the visit, I'm so glad we did it!!

My partner and I had a beautiful time visiting Pont d’ Arc early in the morning (about 9:00). This was before any of the tours came past and it meant that we had the water to ourselves (as we had paddled our SUPs from our campsite). Even driving past the Arc is stunning and I would highly recommend to those who like natural wonders, just don’t be surprised if you go in the middle of the day in summer that it’s super busy!!
