Where Should I go: Rhone-Alpes or Campania?

Rhone-Alpes

Rhone-Alps is part of Auvergne-Rhone-Alps, a new region in France, located along the Eastern border towards the south of the country. The region was named after the Rhone River and the Alps mountain range. The capital city, Lyon, is the second largest metropolitan area in France behind Paris and Rhone Alps has the sixth largest economy of any European region. The Rhone-Alps is a beautiful region, bordering Italy and Switzerland to the east, Burgundy to the north, Auvergne to the west and the Provence region to the south. The area features much of the greatest scenery in France, from the high Alps of the Savoy region to the lavender fields of the Drome and the stunning Gorges de l'Ardeche. A great outdoors destination!

Campania

Campania is the southwestern region of Italy encompassing the Amalfi coast, Naples, Salerno, Pompeii, and many more of the most popular destinations in Italy. A rugged and mountainous region, Campania is known for its beautiful yet expensive coastline with clear blue water, amazing food, and rich cultural history. Agriculture is one of the main industries in the region, and lemons grow in abundance. Limoncello and Crema di limone have become very popular and tasty drinks for locals and tourists alike. The Amalfi coast is perhaps the most highly regarded area for tourists, although other nearby areas host similar experiences for a much lower cost. The coastline around Naples, for example, tends to be cheaper. The islands of Capri and Ischia offer unique and stunning resort-like atmospheres with an Italian feel, but for a hefty price. Outside of Naples, visitors can find Pompeii and Herculaneum, ancient archeological sites made famous by their "frozen in time" remains from the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius in 79 A.D.
