   When you stay in the chalets or

   appartments of our chosen resorts, you can

   enjoy excellent French cuisine both in the

   resorts and on the ski slopes. Here in the 

   French Alps you can sample classical French

   cooking as well as the best of the regional

   cuisine of the Savoy.

Megeve, in the Savoy area of the French Alps, is an authentic Savoyard village, rich in tradition and local history. Today it is one of the most prestigious resorts in the French Alps. With the stunning Mont Blanc as a background, it is charming, elegant and extremely attractive both for skiing, snowboarding and numerous other activities, including sledging, skating, parachuting, hiking, mountain biking, paragliding, climbing and mountaineering.

It has excellent restaurants, interesting shops and beautiful cobbled squares, traditional wooden chalets and, unlike many other ski resorts, is alive outside the skiing season.

  Mègeve’s skiing area grows every season and

  this year 20 super-runs will be linked to the

  Christomet on the Jaillet side of the village.

  Eventually it will form Espace Diamant, linking

  all the slopes of the Val d’Arly and putting

  Mègeve on a par with the Trois Valley, one of

  the most extensive ski domains in the world.

Meribel, in the Trois Valleys is one of

the most perfect ski resorts in the

world. It’s symbol, the heart draped

into the French flag, can be interpreted as a British heart which fell in love with this lovely French village. For it were the Brits who built and developed the most part of this excellent resort. There isn’t an ugly building in the whole of Meribel, only beautiful chalets built of wood

stone and slate. The same is true of the

surrounding villages, from Les Allues

all the way up to Altiport (with the

exception of Mottaret which has some

dull blocks of flats, but those have the advantage of providing direct access to the pistes). There are some excellent restaurants, elegant shops and lively bars in Meribel.

  The resort of Meribel, with its excellent lift   

  system and well-groomed slopes, is centred

  around the four main stations: Meribel Village,

  Meribel, Altiport and Mottaret. Each one has

  it’s own character and style, but all of them

  combined boast 150 km of pistes and are

  linked to two other resorts of the Trois Valleys,

  Val Thorens and Courchevel, providing in total

  over 600 km of pistes, 200 ski lifts, and

  thousands of kilometres of off-piste skiing.

Chamonix Mont Blanc, at the foot of the Mont Blanc mountain range, is one of the oldest and most famous resorts in France. Mont Blanc, the continent's highest point (4807 m), was first scaled in 1786 and became the birthplace of mountaineering. It continues to attract the lovers of nature and the mountains. Back in 1924 the ski resort of Chamonix hosted the first Winter Olympics. From there, a number of cableways lead to numerous well-tendered trails for cross-country skiers of all levels, as well as to the extensive and varied area for Alpine skiing. Other activities include hiking, mountain biking, paragliding, climbing and mountaineering. There are four main ski areas around Chamonix, comprising in total 80 slopes and 155 km of runs.

  Le Planards offering convenient skiing during

  winter season and beautiful nature park in the

  summer, is accessible from the very centre of

  the town of Chamonix. Grands Montets, a high

  rugged mountain range for experienced skiers

  on the Argentier glacier, is accessible from the

  nearby village of Argentiers. Brevent has

  south-facing pistes, some of the most stunning

  long views over the Mont Blanc and is

  accessible from Chamonix.

And lastly, Domaine de Balme, with rich alpine pastures and fabulous nature, can be reached from the village of La Tour. In the summer it is a departure point of some well-know hikes to the spectacular mountain lakes.

Serre Chevalier is located in Hautes Alpes, the most southern area in the French Alps, with most mountain peaks more than 4.000 meters high. The extensive ski area has spectacular mountain scenery and beautiful pistes, many of them running through a long stretch of forest. The resort has one of the best snow and weather record (more than 300 days of sunshine a year). “Le Grand Serre Che” boasts 250 kilometres of south facing runs, between 1,200 and 2,800 metres above the sea level, for everyone, from beginners to experts.

  With the extensive system of super      

  modern speed lifts, excellent runs, good

  restaurants and the youthful atmosphere, this

  is one of the rapidly developing resorts ready

  to take the lead. Situated at the foot of the

  most beautiful peaks in the Ecrins National

  Park, Serre Chevalier is a big south-facing

  valley, between the Col du Lautaret and

  Briançon, with sixteen villages and hamlets

dotted along it, all linked into the local ski area, each with its own character and style, some traditional, other purpose-build and ultimately modern. All these villages are united under the Eagle banner, the emblem of the Serre Chevalier family.

If you are flying through Lyon, it is worth stopping off in the city which is the third largest in France after Paris and Marseille, and certainly one of the most beautiful. Lyon was recently declared by UNESCO a World Heritage Site. Two large rivers, Rhone and Saône flow through the centre of the city, forming the part which is called the Presqu’île, i.e. nearly and island.

In the old part of the city, Vieux Lyon, there are medieval and Renaissance houses and mansions, narrow picturesque passageways (traboules) and the Gothic cathedral of St-Jean with impressive stained glass work and astronomical clock. On the Fourvière hill stands a 19th-century Basilica of Notre-Dame-de-Fourvière which offers stunning views over the terracotta roofs of the city. There are also two significant Roman sites in Lyon, an amphitheatre and the adjacent museum of Gallo-Roman civilisation, and the Roman baths.

There are numerous museums in Lyon, many of them devoted to local culture and history, including Museum of textiles, Maison des Canuts giving the history of silk-weaving, as well as puppets, decorative arts, printing and banking, fine arts, automobiles, contemporary art and local history museums.

Just outside Lyon, in the hills of Beaujolais, on 22 500 hectares of vinyards, 170 million bottles of wine are produced every year. The beautiful wine-making villages of Fleurie, Chirouble, Villié-Morgon and Jouliénas are are a delight to visit.
