Lake geneva and french alps travel guide

Lake Geneva and the French Alps region, a spectacle of nature's grandeur and a playground for the adventurous, promises beauty, excitement, and serenity.
Whether lakes or mountains or delightful cities, this is a region − formally known as Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes − where landscapes are breathtaking and energy begins to flow as soon as you walk outside.
For many, this is just a winter wonderland of ski slopes and crackling fireplaces. To me, it is home. Here are some of destinations to visit in this gorgeous region.

Bonjour! I’m Leyla! I was born in Paris and now live in the bucolic mountain foothills of Eastern France between Lyon and Annecy.
I'm rediscovering my own back yard after years of living abroad in Canada, Spain and Switzerland as a journalist and a diplomat － and I'm loving every minute.
Passionate about history and culture, I’ve created Offbeat France to seek out my country’s mysteries and legends, less-traveled destinations, along with plenty of food stops and many castles － I am French, after all!
