Lyon around the old town
Let Vieux Lyon and the city's food traditions anchor a day, with restaurant choices matched to your tastes and pace.
Private journeys · France
City tables, volcanic landscapes or Alpine air.
This broad area offers several different trips, not one compact circuit. Start with Lyon's food and heritage, the volcanic landscapes of Auvergne, or an Alpine lake stay, then decide which combination makes sense for your time.
Make this region yoursA place to begin. Room to make it yours.
These are ideas for a private journey, not a fixed departure. We shape your route, hotels and experiences around your interests, pace and anything you have already booked.

A few ways to find your Lyon, Auvergne & the Alps.
Auvergne's volcanic scenery
Consider the Chaîne des Puys for landscape-focused time, choosing viewpoints or walks that fit the conditions and your mobility.
Lake Annecy and the mountains
Use Annecy for lakeside time and old-town wandering, treating any higher mountain excursion as a separate, weather-dependent choice.
A little thought makes room for more.
We discuss these practical points together, so your days feel like a holiday.
- Choose the city-plus-landscape pairing first, rather than assuming Auvergne and the Alps belong in one short stay.
- Assess walking difficulty, altitude and seasonal transport individually; a scenic mountain outing is not automatically an easy walk.
