Take a city break in France
The Rhône-Alpes is one of the largest and most prosperous regions in France with three main cities, namely Lyon, Grenoble and St Etienne. Lyon is the capital of this region and is also a gastronomic hub with a plethora of medieval buildings. The Gothic Monastere Royal de Brou is to the northeast of Lyon and contains huge royal tombs and marble statues for those with a keen sense for history. Rent a French holiday home and take a ride over Grenoble on its infamous cable car before seeing some contemporary art at Le Magasin, or visit Saint Etienne to watch a football match and admire the Cathedral’s architecture.
