A new area for me, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes. Thoroughly enjoyed it. 15 days. I put a sample of photos on Amazon Photos (first time using it). Only thing I don't like is that you can't add captions.

I will be making trip #10 to France in April, going to Hauts-de-France and north to Belgium and Netherlands and back down again through more Hauts-de-France and, of course, Paris.

Please enjoy! And if you have questions, please let me know!

Clermont-Ferrand In the dormant volcano region. UNESCO World Heritage Site https://www.amazon.com/photos/shared/jwMZLzitTL2RTZs2zkZouA.NnRtx7arZR4ie_5gofr6zS

Lyon France’s 2nd largest city; great museum; stumbled on a huge ceramics show/market. Lovely cathedral atop a hill overlooking Lyon ]https://www.amazon.com/photos/shared/BFCqtRbpQAOCuNmH9c5p7w.MEAFtTn5eePUUR6TVZnpdW

Annecy OMG the loveliest town and lake. The water was perfectly clear. Near Geneva. https://www.amazon.com/photos/shared/lHM1cNMTQT6tUhczpWkmPA.eueZt-xirKM9sKBt4iuk3x

Yvoire Charm out the wazoo; on Lac Leman, across from Switzerland https://www.amazon.com/photos/shared/8FwDn-1QRpar83MBExRPbw.pM9Qt5RYWLT3WRyZuISoxv

Grenoble Fairly large city, mountains, ski areas nearby, many colleges; wonderful museum https://www.amazon.com/photos/shared/xAuwJZsmRbyZbG01PESPAg.U6TY65dc81RPnABgHyeknu

Montelimar Last minute addition, nice old chateau up top; wonderful contemporary art museum. https://www.amazon.com/photos/shared/m74cZcr_TxabBXa-0htFyA.LRgsMQdJhdtmzYtiQmyK5L

N102 en route to St. Nectaire Some of the prettiest scenery I saw in France https://www.amazon.com/photos/shared/6iyMjA8LTT-i64oWgVZYOw.fAacil_ZiSkFTYhqktYIM4

Bourges Home to another UNESCO site, the cathedral. Lovely gardens, sweet walkable town https://www.amazon.com/photos/shared/4E0-mRYkTxuadudJ_NV7pA.m7w5v31c_nq7JMRotkdPsz

Troyes Probably my second favorite town; medieval, half-timbered houses, beautiful river and fountains https://www.amazon.com/photos/shared/racpql19RR2YUuvQ8JDhZg.rjEIi03MF57Owl2rfDZcHE

Chantilly Just north of Paris airport; huge chateau and GIANT stables; very equestrian! https://www.amazon.com/photos/shared/tXnp4Zb8QcuQOjxS3D_18g.a1CeHf3Ss0JP9ntVYuHQAT

Paris What can I say? Paris, parks, art! Scenes from bus. https://www.amazon.com/photos/shared/fV_Eh20STYK9n0kUp2qZXg.teoNElQhJiCYbfeCWh0P-1

Paris Very small manageable museum. If you go to Paris, do see Orsay and Louvre but it that’s too much, go here. Marmottan Monet Museum https://www.amazon.com/photos/shared/IR9nONpxTzOoNu6sG_zmyg.m6C6Z9ncDXLIOkkFdOt-Vd

A few photos I am so proud of and they make me smile:

Annecy: The French couple next to me on the boat tour were funny. When we passed this chateau, (and I had pointed out a couple of chateaux before this and said, 'I own that!' and we cackled) they said, 'Is this one yours, too?" I said, "Nope, sold it last year!"


En route on the N102 in Ardeche: I nearly drove off the road! Beautiful land and horses.


Also en route to Bourges: (artsied up)


Non-artsied up:
