Small Boutique hotels in RHÔNE-ALPES

Located in the interior of France, this region is crossed by the Rhône River and its main city is the bourgeois Lyon. Its wonderful historic center is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Annecy is another seductive city to the north. Crossed by canals and set at the foot of the lake, it is known as the Venice of Savoy. The medieval cities of Charrous and Salers are also worth a detour.

The high mountain landscape is another protagonist of the region. And Chamonix is the emblematic name of the French Alps and ski resorts, although there are many others. There are also plenty of hot springs, such as Saint-Gervais-les-Bains at the foot of Mont-Blanc and the aristocratic Bourbon-l'Archambault.

Rhône-Alpes allows you to enjoy a variety of landscapes and culinary specialties. In Ardèche, the chestnut forests give rise to the sublime marrons. In Nyon, the olive groves guarantee excellent extra virgin olive oil and the rich tapenade with black olives. De La Drôme is said to come from the best truffles in Europe.

The picturesque medieval towns are another strong point. Balazuc stands on a cliff on the banks of the Ardèche river. Grignan, crowned by a castle, is covered with fields of lavender. In this region many rivers have beaches for swimming. Discover the many charming hotels, each in harmony with its distinct place.
