With 94 starred restaurants, not to mention all the Lyon bouchons, an escape to the region is inevitably gourmet. And with a saucisson brioché, Dauphiné ravioli, a Savoyard fondue 🫕, what better to accompany it with than a small glass of Côtes du Rhône or Beaujolais? And to properly digest your Saint-Marcellin and Montélimar nougats, a little bit of Chartreuse (to be consumed in moderation ⚠️), it’s a no-brainer!Multiplicity of landscapes, diversity of sports routes, the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region is a subtle blend between the joys of running and culinary delights 😇.

The most mountainous region in Europe with 70% of its area classified as mountain zone and the top ski area in the world, bordering Italy and Switzerland, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes is a paradise for trail runners, Nordic walking enthusiasts, and food lovers.&nbsp;
