With mountains encompassing one-fifth of its land, France offers an eclectic variety of views and experiences, from rolling green landscapes dotted with delightful villages to unspoiled nature exalted by ice and rock. The Alps, the Pyrnes, the Auvergne, the Jura from the canyon of Le Verdon to Mont-Blanc, from the Puy-de-Dme to Le Vignemale, each mountain region proudly presents its own unique atmosphere, special character and authentic heritage.
