When to take leave in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes

What one, two or three days of leave get you:

Zone A, winter sports, and Festival of Lights

In Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, winter and spring school holidays follow Zone A (covering the education districts of Lyon, Grenoble, and Clermont-Ferrand). Winter life is shaped by the alpine ski season in the Northern Alps, which drives regional tourism schedules.

In Lyon, the Festival of Lights (Fête des Lumières) around 8 December is the city's most famous celebration, originating in 1852 with traditional candles (lumignons) placed on windowsills.
