AutoCAD Map Rhone Alpes France

The Rhône-Alpes region, located in southeastern France, was an administrative region in France until 2016 when it was merged with the Auvergne region to form the new administrative region of Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes. As of my last knowledge update in September 2021, I can provide information about the Rhône-Alpes region.

Rhône-Alpes was known for its diverse landscapes, which included the French Alps to the east, the Rhône River valley, and various other natural features. Some of the key cities and areas in the Rhône-Alpes region included:
