Good news: It is not perfect, however, the weather in Rhône-Alpes in april should be good in Ardèche, Aix-les-Bains, Lyon, Chambéry, Drôme and Montélimar. I allows to savor vacation in these cities. And even why not take a little time to sunbathe!

If you do not go lazing in the sun, but, for example to go sightseeing, the cities of Annecy (Haute-Savoie), Annonay, Thonon-les-Bains, Bourg-en-Bresse (Ain), Roanne, Saint-Etienne and Grenoble (Isère) have a OK but just acceptable weather for this kind of activity in april. Eventually, avoid going in the cities of Savoy and Chamonix in april because the climate is rather bad.
