The best accommodations Rhône-Alpes

A green campsite in the village of Châteauneuf-de-Galaure. The Galaure river flows behind the campsite and stretches over 30 km with numerous hiking trails and panoramic courses. On site, two swimming pools with slides and a watery descent to be done with a life belt. A paddling pool and playgrounds (both indoor and outdoor) are there for children. Locations of mobile homes, bungalow tents, safari tent or chalet and of course naked location.

Lovely, isn't it? The rooms are simple, but they have been completely renovated and there is rest to attack a good day in the gorges. You can even refresh yourself in the swimming pool, shady terraces and vaulted dining room offer a table of good quality with interesting baked coffins at the plancha - crammed in pastis, poppy and its lemon marinade - and a fine selection of wines from the region. A convenient address, 200 m from the center of Vallon-Pont-d 'Arc, and good value for money for a pleasant stay in this tourist area.

Another way to consider a stay in this beautiful Iséroise region, close to Vienna and Lyon, in the heart of a peaceful village and its typical church in another village, but this one of cottages. This residential park offers a sense of serenity in a perfectly maintained green environment. In the middle of the big trees, in a calm little disturbed by the whisper of a fountain in the centre of the swimming pool, we take advantage of this secret garden to recharge away from the tumult but close to all the tourist sites. You can still enjoy the benefits of a sauna and steam bath, while the gîtes are designed and equipped as cosy nests. And for those who can't get out, they'll settle on the terrace with their computer connected with wifi while they prepare the barbecue! Charming reception and impeccable service for Les Jardins du Castel.

Well located, 200 meters from the heart of the village, Hotel Les Sapins is very close to the ski slopes in winter. We leave and come back skiing! This large Savoyard-style chalet, with its flowered balconies, offers a splendid view of the Aravis mountain range and is also appreciated for its accommodation, hospitality and quality table. The rooms have a typical décor, light woodwork or painted, fabric in Savoyard red and white or country yellow and blue tones, comfortable and bright, where you can enjoy breakfast on the private balcony as soon as the weather is fine. Unless you prefer the restaurant with its panoramic view, which also serves a generous traditional cuisine. Practical, for evenings when you feel the need to rest after an intense day of activities.... And the spa is there to add to the relaxation offer. In summer, the garden and swimming pool make it a very pleasant place to stay. Ideal for families!

A simple address but full of charm. Apparent bricks, wooden beams, walls covered with ochre coating: the renovation undertaken by the owners two years ago is successful. Two dining rooms, one for the bar from which you hear the local clientele babbling and play the dice.

Located on the west shore of the lake, this hotel has been in the water for a century. Opening its shutters with a lake view is rare! Look out in the morning in the pure waters facing the mountains of the Aravis massif. It's magic, like feeling the public prosecutor's office in a house where you sleep deep sleep— if you ask for a room side of the lake. The hotel at reasonable prices would ask for a small refreshment. The reception is professional. The owner is in the kitchen for the preparation of the lake fish, a savoyard pick or a toast lamb saddle in Provence. Eat lunch or dinner while enjoying the unique view of the sun on the two terraces. The private pontoon makes it possible to take a bath in the transparent waters of the lake and the mooring loop allows to come with its boat. A relaxing stop to enjoy all the pleasures of this exceptional environment.
