You'll explore the less-touristy side of things at Cite medievale de Perouges and La Roche de Solutre. Escape the urban bustle at Grotte de Choranche and Les Pertes de le Valserine. Get out of town with these interesting Lyon side-trips: Col du Beal (in Saint-Pierre-la-Bourlhonne), Chateau de Chasselas (in Chasselas) and Chateau De La Greffiere (in La Roche-Vineuse). The adventure continues: steep yourself in history at Jardin des Fontaines Petrifiantes, enjoy some diversion at Les Truites d'Andaure, get to know the fascinating history of Vieux Lyon, and take in the dramatic scenery at Cascade du Saut du Chien.
