Autumn is an excellent time of year to plan a getaway for many reasons; prices are generally lower, tourists crowds dissipate, the sticky summer months are over and everything is simply calmer. Big cities and popular destinations all over are great choices at this time of year but we have chosen some of the best of the best tourist spots to visit in Autumn.

1. Paris

Paris is beautiful in Autumn. The colourful foliage falling from the trees lining the streets and in the public parks make for a pretty sight and a wonderful backdrop to an ideal vacation.

Lyon is a 2,000 year old city in the east of France that is the third-largest city and second-largest urban area in the country and is the capital of the region of Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes. It is beautiful, rich in history and culture and is famed for its gastronomy. And, yet, it is not one of the country's more famous tourist destinations which we, here at Easy Reserve, think is just wrong. Lyon makes for a wonderful holiday destination and here are the reasons as to why you should find a holiday rental in Rhône-Alpes and plan a trip ASAP.

1. It's a beautiful UNESCO-awarded site

The Historic Site of Lyon was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1998 due to the "exceptional testimony to the continuity of urban settlement over more than two millennia on a site of great commercial and strategic significance."
