Alpes du Sud
The Alpine Model of Tomorrow.
/// 01. IDENTITY & HISTORY
A high mountain area bathed in Mediterranean light, the Southern Alps have an identity forged by spectacular nature and a certain harshness. It is a land of hilltop villages and pastoralism.
The R3 project recognizes the specificity of this mountain territory, which must not be managed like the Marseille coast.
