Châteauroux-les-Alpes

Highlight • Other

Châteauroux, the capital of the Indre, was founded around 937 AD when Raoul the Fat, Lord of Déols, built Château Raoul on the left bank of the Indre, the name from which the city derives. Developing as a center of craftsmanship, it was contested during the Hundred Years' War, becoming an important capital in the 19th century with industrialization and the construction of the railway.

View of Saint-Clément - banks of the Durance

Highlight • Viewpoint

This village is located in a narrow passage formed by a geological lock at the entrance to Guillestrois. The Durance is boxed here between two mountain walls. A bridge was built there from the Middle Ages to ensure trade with Italy. It is probable that during the Roman period, it was a low which ensured the crossing. The village served as a starting point for rafts of tree trunks intended for shipbuilding which were "floated" to the Mediterranean.

L’Argentière-la-Bessée Photo Exhibition

Highlight • Monument

From 1910 to 1988, L'Argentière-la-Bessée lived to the rhythm of its aluminum factory, which made this valley, once almost deserted, the largest industrial center in the Hautes-Alpes department. Beautiful photos to discover!
