The Country Viennese is a community of urban area of 66' 000 inhabitants. Composed of 18 communes, it sits on both sides of the Rhone river, in the south of Lyon.

 

In a large variety of undulating and multicoloured landscapes, forest or cultivated, from where the sight escapes on the valley of the Rhone and the Natural park from Pilat, the Country Viennese invites you to a stay of charm and enthusiasm. Various historic sites, cultural and of leisures consolidate the interest and the tourist value of this territory at the 2,500 years of History.

 

This occupied territory a situation privileged within the Rhone-Alps area. Indeed , it opens easily in the east on the Alps and the Jura, and profits from the southernmost influences of Drome and Ardeche. Crossed by the A7 highway, there remains the first stage impossible to circumvent in the sun of the south.

 

Moreover, the town of Vienna profits from a strategic position of crossroads, near the main roads of NORTH-SOUTH communication and Is/Western. It is thus close to the great urban areas such as Lyon (20 min.), Valence (45 min.), Saint-Etienne (45 min.), Grenoble (1h).

 

Labellisée “Town of Art and History” since 1990 by the Ministry for the Culture and the Communication, the town of Vienna shares with its visitors the richness of his inheritance and its quality of life.
