Nature reserves, lakes and unique sites like Mont Blanc or the Ardeche Gorges are just some of the many assets that this privileged region benefits from. It is a paradise for experienced climbers and skiers. It is also a special destination for lovers of fine food and top class wines. And let us not forget Lyon, ancient capital of Roman Gaul and remarkable capital with a rich architectural heritage. If property in some areas of Rhone-Alpes remains expensive, it represents nevertheless an excellent investment because the chalets in Méribel, or the apartments in Megève can be rented in summer as well as in winter. Houses for sale in Lyon, on the heights of Fourvières are also much sought after, but in other areas of Rhone-Alpes, it is possible to find farms or houses for sale at very affordable prices.
