Rhône-Alpes

Rhône-Alpes was a former administrative region in southeastern France, known for its diverse landscapes, including the Alps mountains, lakes, and fertile valleys. It was home to vibrant cities like Lyon, a historic hub for commerce and cuisine, and Grenoble, a center for science and technology. The region offered a mix of outdoor activities such as skiing, hiking, and winter sports, along with rich cultural heritage and gastronomy. In 2016, Rhône-Alpes was merged with Auvergne to form the larger Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region, enhancing administrative efficiency and regional cooperation.
