Snow capped peaks, flower-filled mountains and crystal lakes are the essence of the French Alps, while the Jura, rich in woodland, lakes and cascading waterfalls, is the little known jewel of France. Discover a wide range of activities for sports enthusiasts and some of the most beautiful scenery in Europe.

French Alps
Grenoble – the capital of the Alps is a lively and
modern city with a fascinating old quarter. Take a
cable car to Fort de la Bastille for a spectacular view.
