Les meilleurs hôtels à Eugene

Back in 1852, Eugene Franklin Skinner came to airy southern Oregon to improve his failing health. The trading post he erected on the prairie of the Willamette Valley (and named after himself) has grown into Oregon's second-largest city with a harmonious blend of culture and nature. Other than the house that Skinner built, the most important augmentation to Eugene came in 1872 when the University of Oregon was founded in the city. The Eugene campus remains the flagship of Oregon's state higher education system. An art museum, a museum of natural history, a darn fine football team (lately, at least) and an annual Bach Festival are just a few of the university's contributions to Eugene life. Native Eugenians are pretty good at making cultural contributions of their own. The city has a healthy alternative music scene and the Oregon Country Fair brightens up every summer. The word "mild" was made for Eugene's climate; averaging 53 degrees with few seasonal differences, Eugene is an ideal locale for folks who are adverse to extremities -- like the original Eugene himself.
