Telephone Code – 03 www.franche-comte.org www.rhonealpestourisme.com Awesome, inspiring, tranquil, serene – superlatives rarely do justice to the spectacular landscapes of the French Alps and the Jura. Soaring peaks tower above verdant, forested valleys, alive with wild flowers. Mountain streams rush down from dour massifs, carving out deep gorges on their way. Mont Blanc, Grandes Jorasses and Barre des Écrins for mountaineers. Val d’Isère, Chamonix and Les Trois Vallées for adrenaline junkies. Vanoise, Vercors and Jura for great outdoors fans. So many mythical names, so many expectations, and not a hint of flagging: the Alps’ pulling power has never been so strong. What is so enticing about the Alps and the Jura is their almost beguiling range of qualities: under Mont Blanc’s 4810m of raw wilderness lies the most spectacular outdoor playground for activities ranging from skiing to canyoning, but also a vast historical and architectural heritage, a unique place in French cuisine (cheese, more cheese!), and some very happening cities boasting world-class art. So much for the old cliché that you can’t have it all.

Avec ses 150 000 ha de zones à forte valeur biologique, véritable atout pour les habitants et les visiteurs, le territoire représente 24 % de zones reconnues d’intérêt pour le département, dont un parc national, 4 sites classés en protection de biotope et 8 sites Natura 2000. Cet ouvrage vous off re de parcourir ce vaste territoire en vous contant l’essentiel du patrimoine naturel mauriennais. Un “essentiel” qui parfois se traduit par la présence d’espèces remarquables qui se trouvent à vos portes, à vos pieds. Mais un “essentiel” qui va au-delà, parce que la nature et l’homme dans la nature, ont un destin lié. Les grands enjeux mondiaux en matière de changements climatiques, de perte de biodiversité ou de ressources en eau peuvent se retrouver en modèle réduit, comme un échan- tillon représentatif, au niveau de nos bassins de vie.

  • The Tour De France Is Won in the Mountains!
    The Tour de France is Won in the Mountains! Here is all the information you’ll need regarding the big mountains of the 2014 Tour de France. In this handout I provide you with links to the actual elevation profiles of each of the 2014 major climbs, the profile from the Tour de France website, and the details on the system of categorizing the climbs and assigning King of the Mountain points for the KOM jersey competition. Profiles of the major climbs of the 2014 Tour de France Two websites make it very easy and fun to get a close glimpse of the actual route on Google Earth and a detailed profile of each of the categorized climbs. The first one is www.cyclingthealps.com which has links to all of the stages and many of the best climbs in the Alps. They provide the profile, a direct link for a 3D tour in Google earth, a direct link for Streetview. The other is www.Climbbybike.com. You must register (it’s free) but you can search over 33,000 climbs around the world. Click on Tour de France 2014 on the left and you’ll see each of the routes and the profiles of each climb. On the following pages, I’ve done all of the work for you for the most important climbs and mountain stages and the links to the information on Climbbybike.com, from the proper side of each climb (also confusing to know and time consuming to determine on some of the climbs). Use the information and profiles in the flyers for your classes.

  • 150 Ans De Tourisme Au Col Du Lautaret
    S. Aubert & A. Bignon+ 150 ans de tourisme au col du Lautaret Le rôle de la Compagnie de chemin de fer Paris-Lyon-Méditerranée et du Touring Club de France dans les Alpes Les cahiers illustrés du Lautaret 2013 - n° 4 Le col du Lautaret est un haut lieu du tourisme dans les Alpes. Ce cahier retrace l’importance de la compagnie ferroviaire Paris-Lyon-Méditerranée (PLM) qui a été un des acteurs du développement touristique de la région, en montrant les relations qu’elle a entretenues avec le Touring Club de France, l’hôtelier Alexandre Bonnabel, les compagnies de transport automobile et le Syndicat d’initiative de Grenoble et du Dauphiné. De 1914 à 1944, un Chalet PLM a accueilli des milliers de touristes au col du Lautaret, à proximité du Jardin alpin. Détruit à la fin de la seconde guerre mondiale, le bâtiment devrait laisser la place à une structure d’accueil du public, des étudiants et des chercheurs.
