Hotels in Via Rhona, France
The Rhône Valley runs from Lyon to the Mediterranean, famous for its Côtes du Rhône vineyards and Roman landmarks like the Pont du Gard aqueduct. Summers are warm (80°F/27°C), ideal for cycling along the river and visiting Avignon's 14th-century Papal Palace, while mild winters (50°F/10°C) let you taste wines at quieter cellars. For a cheap trip, come in spring when accommodation prices drop and lavender fields near Orange's ancient theater are in bloom.
