Take a short break in Auvergne Rhône-Alps... stroll through 2,000 years of history - delighting in the old towns and savouring what is known locally as the readily-affordable "art of living". Don't miss Lyon, of course, the ancient capital of Roman Gaul and now capital of the region, or St Etienne the "green city" at the foot of the Pilat Natural Park. Relax on the banks of the majestic crystal-clear lake Annecy and take a trip to Chambery, house of the Dukes of Savoy. Then there's the Grenoble, gate of the Alps; and Valence, southern spirit of the region, with the Provencal flavours of its markets.
