Situated west of the sub-alpine mountain range of the Jura Mountains in eastern France is the capital of the Ain department, Bourg-en-Bresse.

Just over an hour southwest of Bourg en Bresse, on the outskirts of the city of Lyon – another city worth the trip - is the Fourviere Hill Roman Ruins. Despite its age, the amphitheatres are still used as a concert venue, with the smaller of the two able to hold roughly 4,000 people.
