GAP
: Gentle Capitale
|
|
|
|
Gap,
gentle capital with its pastel-coloured façades
and its mountain scenery, has managed to combine
tradition and modernity with a quality of life it
strenuously maintains.Between Provence and Dauphiné,
it benefits from an Alpine climate tempered by the
proximity of the Mediterranean.
Its geographically ideal position, at an equal distance
between Rhône-Alpes, Northern Italy and the Mediterranean,
means that it stands at the crossroads of the main
tourist routes through the Alps.
