Discovery

Natural Park of Chartreuse - All resources of know-how

Natural Park of Chartreuse - All resources of know-how
For those who are fond of hiking, a mountain stick is essential. It is in the Chartreuse, since 1898, that they are manufactured and where you can admire how craftsmen carve them. Giving everyone the possibility to see the work of craftsmen is one of the credos of the Park which lies between the Isère and Savoie regions.

Steams

When lavender embalms the whole Drôme…

When lavender embalms the whole Drôme…
Mobilize your five senses for a tour of lavender in flower. The mauve fields waving under the sizzling heat, ice cream and crème brûlée enchanting the palate and the flowers rubbed between one's hands, so that they express all their perfume:
the blooming of lavender starts at the beginning of June.

Markets

Drôme, The amusing round of the markets of the summer

Drôme, The amusing round of the markets of the summer
It is the high season of fruit and vegetables during the summer and the stalls of the markets are more appetizing that ever. One regales oneself, almost on the spot, with peaches, brugnons, apricots, melons and nectarines, and one can shop for all the local produce which abounds in the area.

Welcome

Week end in Beaujolais, for lovers of rural landscape and produce

Week end in Beaujolais, for lovers of rural landscape and produce
We are in the heart of Beaujolais and a stone's throw from Bourgogne. Vines, Romanesque churches and all the rural architecture are really worth the detour. It is the occasion to organize a short tasting-session stay in the wine storehouses and to discover a truly wonderful region.

Mountain cheeses

Glory to the cheese

Glory to the cheese
Installed in Lugrin in the suburbs of Evian, the Cheese Temple moves around all over France via fairs and salons, so that all those who do not have the chance to be able to make an impromptu visit to Chablais, can discover Savoie cheeses. But they will then miss the museum and its animations. So, rush over there!

Sparkling

Bubbles in Bugey are celebrating!

Bubbles in Bugey are celebrating!
This is a sparkling wine that is full of peps! Lyonnais connoisseurs are mad about Montagnieu, a vintage from the Ain with fine and elegant bubbles. You can really enjoy if you go and get it directly from the cellars of the Haut Bugey, where it has been raised...
