La ville d’Annecy

Nichée au bord de son magnifique lac, entourée de montagnes majestueuses, la ville offre aussi un joli centre historique. Les petites rues pavées conduisent jusqu’au château, pour une vue imprenable, avant de redescendre pour déguster une glace artisanale en flânant au bord du Thiou, le cours d’eau serpentant dans la vieille ville.  En empruntant la voie verte, il est possible de faire le tour du lac. Au printemps et en été, des barques, des pédalos permettent aux visiteurs de partir en croisière sur le lac. Les différentes plages accueillent les baigneurs et tous les amateurs d’activités nautiques. En hiver, après avoir profité des paysages enneigés, la gastronomie locale – fondue, raclette, tartiflette – sait vous réchauffer.

Beaune, Capital des vins de Bourgogne**

À moins de deux heures de Lyon, la Capitale des vins de Bourgogne accueille les épicuriens et les adeptes d’escapades médiévales. Le bâtiment le plus emblématique de la Bourgogne, l’Hôtel-Dieu, aussi appelé Hospices de Beaune, est un ancien hôpital pour les plus démunis, reconverti aujourd’hui en musée. La collégiale Notre-Dame de Beaune est autre monument historique de la ville. Vous y admirez son style roman, ses tapisseries, ses vitraux… Après avoir pris de la hauteur en parcourant les remparts qui entourent la cité, vous plongez dans les souterrains voûtés de la Maison Patriarche. Véritable institution, ses caves abritent des millions de bouteilles et la visite est jalonnée d'œuvres d'art de divers artistes internationaux et contemporains.

Grenoble

Les montagnes sont ancrées au bout de chaque rue de cette ville. Blottie entre les massifs du Vercors, de la Chartreuse et de Belledonne, la ville de Grenoble offre un décor surprenant. La première étape est bien entendu d’emprunter le téléphérique emblématique, les fameuses bulles qui grimpent jusqu’à l’ancienne forteresse de la Bastille : en haut, un panorama à couper le souffle. En redescendant, vous prenez le temps d’explorer le centre-ville, ses ruelles pavées, ses jolies places, avant de vous rendre dans l’un des musées : le musée archéologique Saint-Laurent, le Cabinet Rembrandt, le Muséum de Grenoble, etc. Les amateurs d’art urbain peuvent aussi admirer les fresques murales rassemblées dans un parcours traversant plusieurs quartiers de la ville.
