Alps Travel Guide Edit This The best resource for sights, hotels, restaurants, bars, what to do and see Square - Grenoble CBD Square - Grenoble CBD Jay Forster The region of the Alpes consists of one of the most beautiful mountain areas in the world, the French Alps. The highest mountain of Western Europe, the Mount Blanc is located here - and the good news is you can even go skiing on it, using Chamonix as a base. There are many more skiing resorts in the area that may not have the charm of their Swiss and Austrian counterparts, but they tend to offer better value for money. Alp dHuez is more than just a skiing resort; it is also the mecca for cyclists On its steep slopes many Tour de France has been decided. There are also beautiful cities in the region, like Lyon the metropole of the south, which has some great museums, roman remains and and some of the best restaurants in the world. Grenoble and Annecy are nice towns to spend some time as well. ________ Lyon Travel Guide Edit This The best resource for sights, hotels, restaurants, bars, what to do and see Lyon - la place bellecour et la basilique de fourvière Lyon - la place bellecour et la basilique de fourvière georges dancette Lyon the third-largest city in the nation (pop. 413 000) is set in the Rhone-Alpes region on the Rhone and Soane Rivers. Get a sweeping view of the city and its waterways from the Basilica of Fourviere which contains a fine collection of 19th-century Byzantine art (the basilica is reached by cable car). Other attractions are Roman ruins the Italian Renaissance architecture and cobblestone streets of the vieux quartier (old quarter) and a fabric museum with a collection of some of the world’s finest silks (the Jacquard loom was invented in Lyon). Don’t neglect the puppet museum (in the Hotel de Gadagne) or the admirable Gallo-Roman and art museums. End the day by relaxing at a sidewalk cafe. Nearby Collonges boasts Paul Bocuse’s restaurant (it once won the nearly unheard-of rating of four Michelin stars!). If time permits spend an extra day and visit Perouges a medieval-era weaver’s village where the Richard Lester version of the movie The Three Musketeers was created. ____History Edit This The history of Lyon, known at the time as Lugdunum (meaning "the hill of light" or "the hill of crows") began under the Romans, in the first century B.C. when the city was proclaimed capital of the three Gauls. This official status brought political, economic, military and religious development to the city. This period of pre-eminence lasted 3 centuries but did not survive the downfall of the Roman Empire. A long period of upheaval possessed the city until the church gave it new impetus by declaring Lyon the seat of the Primate of Gaul in the 11th century. From that time, prosperity continued to grow, reaching its peak in the Renaissance. By the end of the 15th century, Lyon was an important center of trade with its fairs and a well-developed banking system which attracted commercial interests from all over Europe. Soon, the social, intellectual and artistic elite settled here. Development continued through the 17th and 18th centuries with the Lyon silk industry dressing the rich the world over and decorating their interiors. The city continued to gain in size and equipped itself with hospitals, public squares and impressive edifices. The French Revolution in 1789 brought a brutal halt to expansion but development was re-vitalized under the Napoleonic empire. Lyon became an industrial city and pursued its urban development with a distinct preference for the Haussman style prevalent at the time. Though the revolt of the Canuts silk workers tarnished the era, Lyon enjoyed an undeniable power which it carried into the 20th century. Urban development continued to expand and change the face of the city. During World War II, Lyon was the center of the French Resistance. The post-war period marked the beginning of the race for modernity with a new challenge, the construction of Europe. Lyon acquired a European dimension through the development of the transportation system, hotel and other tourist facilities, cultural establishments and the creation of the Part-Dieu business quarter in 1960. The 1980's saw a new drive to improve the city's infrastructure. The momentum continues today. Important town planning projects have been completed in strategic locations, while maintaining a policy of preservation of local historical cultural assets. In barely a dozen years, Lyon has become a major metropolis where the successes of the past live in harmony with the goals of the future. These different phases of Lyon's history are engraved in the urban landscape. _____Museums Edit This Capital of the silk industry, the Three Gauls and the French Resistance, Lyon claims some thirty museums with permanent collections and frequent exhibitions. Antiquities, paintings, sculptures, drawings, ancient textiles, art objects, furniture, contemporary and classical art, all periods are represented. The wealth of the contents is enhanced by their equally superb settings: an 18th century mansion for the Textile Museum, a 17th century abbey for the Museum of Fine Arts and an archeological site for the Museum of Gallo-Roman Civilization.

The idea of constructing an archeological museum dates back to 1957 when a large part of the Gallo-Roman collection, previously housed at Palais Saint Pierre (Fine Arts Museum), was transferred to a small building on the site of the antique theaters of Fourvière. Louis Pradel, then Mayor of Lyon, decided to construct a new building, upon the advice of Amable Audin, curator of the Gallo-Roman collection and staunch proponent of the project, with the encouragement of Pierre Quoniam, Inspector General of more.. type: general World66 rating: [rate it] address: 17 rue Cléberg - 69005 LYON tel: (33) 4 72 38 81 90 Museum of Fine Arts Edit This x The former Abbey of the Ladies of Saint Pierre, in the center of Lyon, now houses the Fine Arts Museum.

In 1988, the title of Museum of Contemporary Art was conferred by the Museums of France administrative agency.

Park at the shore Kari Kangas The picturesque Annecy, known for its castle that dominates the town, is located at the northern top of Lake Annecy and surrounded by snow-topped mountains. The town often serves as a welcome stop before hiking or skiing activities in the nearby Mont Blanc area or travels to Swiss or Italy. The castle, with its several towers, is a reminder of the glorious structure the military fort must have had when it was constructed in the eleventh century by the Prince of Savoy. Downtown Annecy and the Lake are connected by a canal that winds through the cobbled streets with the red-roofed houses. The terraces are there, the Bridge of the Lovers, the setting sun.... no wonder they call it the Venice of the North. In the old part of the town, you can explore the inner yards of the castle as well as the old prisons dating from the Middle Ages. Modern shops have found their way to the city (and offer excellent possibilities to hire gear when you want to indulge in any sorts of (water)sports) as well as plenty off restaurants, cafes and big companies such as Alcatel Vacuum Technology, Salomon and Dassault. You can either opt for a hotel in town or for one of the holiday resorts along the lake. The traditional Old Town festival takes place in July and is followed quite soon by the preparations for the famous Lake Festival that takes place every August. Annecy is also the location where the annual Animated Film Festival takes place. _____Festivals Edit This grape grape none 8th Vine Festival In Sevrier (RN 508) next to Annecy November 10th (PM), 11th and 12th (AM and PM), 2006 80 exhibitors Oenologue on premises To support charities of the Annecy-Lac Lions-Club Fee: 4 Euro [Add Festival] 10th Lions-Club Annecy-Lac Wine Festival Edit This 10th Wine and Food Festival In Sevrier (RN 508) next to Annecy November 7th (PM), 8th and 9th (AM and PM), 2008 87 exhibitors To support charities of the Annecy-Lac Lions-Club Fee: 4 Euro World66 rating: [rate it] date: November 7th, 2008 address: Sevrier, France email: annecylac@lions103CS.org :::::::::Ceillac Travel Guide Edit This The best resource for sights, hotels, restaurants, bars, what to do and see This is one of the first villages reached in Queyras.
