Reviewed By Curious54739211 - Vancouver, Canada
With one of the cleanest lakes in Europe, this is worth a relaxing stop for 2-3 days to amble along the lakeshore, take a boat excursion on the glacial-fed turquoise lake, hike or cycle, try some delicious raclette and make sure to wander beside the canals of the old town at night with glowing lanterns. Wonderful.

The best part of Lyon: fascinating and friendly. Wander around: get lost among the charming streets, stop for a drink or food at one of the many excellent cafes and restaurants.

6. Puy-de-Dome Volcano

This was the highlight of our trip to the Clermont-Ferrand area. The hike to the top is about 1 to 1.5 hours depending on your pace. It does get a little more strenuous as you get the the top - and quite steep on the way down, so wear proper hiking shoes. Foe those with mobility issues (or young children) there is the option of taking a train, but if you're able-bodied, you'll want the experience of the hike! There is a middle option - there's a parking lot a little higher up the mountain that cuts about 20-30 minutes off the hike. That lots tends to fill up before the lower lot tough, so go early if you plan to be use that option. There's also a restaurant and a restroom at the upper parking lot. The views along the way are breathtaking. The height of Puy de Dôme is 1,465-metres. At the summit, it's nothing short of magical! We were fortunate enough to be there on a clear day where we had a perfect view of the Chaîne des Puys (volcanoes), Monts Dore and Monts du Forez mountains, Clermont-Ferrand and the Limagne plain. There's a path around the summit so you can take in the full panoramic view. I was shocked to see how many sheep were at the summit! The summit also provides restroom facilities, restaurant, gift shop, ruins of a Gallo-Roman temple, a meteorological observatory and a visitor information center. It took us 75 minutes to hike to the summit and about 45 minutes to go down because we went with the momentum and were basically running all he way down. Be careful - it gets slippery!! This is definitely something not to be missed! Bring a refillable water bottle and wear proper hiking shoes. It was hot when we went, but if you're visiting in cooler months you may ant to bring a light jacket for when you're at the summit.

This good value system takes you near vertically up to the Bastille fortification with a small museum and two good restaurants Excellent views over Grenoble and you can just glimpse Mont Blanc over the mountains to your back A good experience is to ride up, indulge in good food looking out over the city and then walk the winding trail back down.

Reviewed By ReallyBadHat
An ancient city, sited on the shore of the beautiful lake Annecy, called the Venice of the Alps, intricately laced with a canal network, weaving between masses of historic buildings. Lots of restaurants, craft shops, galleries and food emporia are a magnet for visitors, when the market is on, the place can be heaving. On a wet mid week afternoon we pretty much had the place to ourselves (relatively), shame about the rain but it didn’t stop us bumbling about and exploring Definitely worth a visit
9. Grenoble-Bastille Cable Car
Overall Ratings

Reviewed By antoniomM6608WI - Copenhagen, Denmark
Grenoble is famous because of many things. The city was hosting Olympic games in 1968. This has been also a strategic city in France throughout hundreds of years. Take a panoramic ride in one of the round cable cars up to the hill where the famous Bastille is situated - you won't regret it. Besides spectacular views, there is a museum inside the Bastille where you can learn a bit about history of the city and "see" french warriors as well as french resistance in the Alps. I highly recommend. Outside of the Bastille, you can take an easy hike uphill as well as explore a tunnel or grots.
