The small, French commune of Lapeyrouse lies in an area dotted with dozens of ponds, making for ideal golfing terrain. In fact, visitors often come here for the golf, with equipment available for hire at the two nearest courses: Golf du Gouverneur and Golf du Clou. Yet, most visitors come for the community's proximity to Lyon, 30kms to the southwest, from where rail connections whisk visitors to Switzerland's Geneva in just two hours. Lapeyrouse, a convenient base for Lyon sightseers who want to return to the quietude of rural France after touring Old Lyon and its cathedral, has a population of just 300. This watery part of Ain department, in the east of France, is easy to access via Lyon's international airport. Gastronomy plays a significant part in the local culture, with the commune's few eateries and Lapeyrouse hotels serving up tasty local dishes. The area serves as a ski base in winter and a cycling and fishing base in summer, but it acts as an ideal jumping-off point for daytrips to Lyon year-round.
