The Rhône-Alpes region is one of the largest regions in France and its capital, Lyon, is its second city.
The Rhône-Alpes region includes:
- the Rhône, around and to the north of Lyon;
- the Ain in the northeast, including the plain of Bresse and the south of the Jura;
- Haute-Savoie and Savoie, two alpine departments;
- the Loire to the east of Lyon, the Isère which extends from the Italian border to Lyon;
- theArdèche, the eastern flank of the Massif Central, and the Drôme, at the foot of the southwestern foothills of the Alps.
Besides Lyon, Grenoble and Saint-Étienne are the most important cities. The region includes all or part of the various historical provinces, including Savoie and Dauphiné, as well as a small part of northern Provence, called “Drôme Provençale”.
The identity of the region is defined on the one hand by the Rhône and its tributaries and on the other by the alpine highlands.
From Lyon to the Mediterranean, the Rhone Valley has always been one of Europe’s main historical communication routes, the shortest route between north and south, avoiding a crossing of the Alps or a big detour.
