Road Trip through the Rhône Valley

France Today magazine

“Giving oneself just a week to cover the Rhône Valley – or at least the incredibly varied 140-mile stretch between Lyon and Avignon – is potentially a fool’s errand. My ideal week off here would be to hunker

down in a village and decide each morning where to explore. So covering this entire area, which spans seven départements and encompasses must-see sites dating from prehistory to the present day, in only seven days, would leave no time for wandering.”
