The Jura Cross-country skiing (Trip 16)PRISMA BILDAGENTUR AG/ALAMY ©
FROM THE RHÔNE RIVER TO EUROPE’S HIGHEST MOUNTAIN, eastern France is a crazy quilt of inspirational landscapes.
Our fi ve itineraries head in all directions from Lyon. To the northwest, narrow roads snake through the vine-covered Beaujolais; to the south, the Rhône fl ows through increasingly sunny country past Gallo-Roman ruins, medieval hilltop fortresses and precipitous gorges.
East lie the mountains: the Jura, land of Comté cheese and golden wine; the Vercors’ poppy-strewn plateaus and limestone peaks; Haute-Provence’s lavender fi elds and multihued canyons; and, towering high above, the Alps, where France’s most spellbinding high-country scenery revolves around hulking Mont Blanc.
