January 8, 2022 Concepcion Newsome

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.

Reviewed By filfolop - Ashford, United Kingdom

We booked through the website and they were very efficient at coming back to us. Having decided on the more adventurous ‘Sensation’ rafting experience we were kitted out with good quality equipment and our river guide, PYF, was very efficient and spoke excellent English which saved us having to rely on our French. The briefing was very comprehensive and was made fun. The experience was well worth the money. PYF made it a personal experience, despite having done it hundreds of times before. Our kids are 10, 15 and 18 and all got maximum enjoyment from this, well worth €250.
