  • French Alps & the Jura
    © Lonely Planet 238 A R JU E H T & S P L French Alps & the Jura NCH A RE HIGHLIGHTS F Conquering the Alpe d’Huez (p261) Teetering on the edge of the Gorges da la Bourne (p242) Slowly approaching the hilltop, medieval-fortified village of Nozeroy (p255) Conquering the highest pedalled pass – Col du Galibier 2645m (p241) TERRAIN Extremely mountainous in the Alps, and mainly rolling hills in the Jura with some real lung-crushers from time to time. 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.

Unas características que dejan a Cadel Evans y Bradley Wiggins como los grandes favoritos para llegar vestidos de amarillo a los Campos Elíseos.

  • Variante Bourg-Saint-Maurice / Saint- François-Longchamp Route Des Grandes Alpes® À Vélo
    http:www.francevelotourisme.com 07/05/2021 Variante Bourg-Saint-Maurice / Saint- François-Longchamp Route des Grandes Alpes® à vélo Voilà l’étape du col de la Madeleine (1993 m), point de passage mythique entre les vallées de la Tarentaise et de la Maurienne. Le col de la Madeleine est aussi très utile aux itinérants de Route des Grandes Alpes®, lorsque le col de l’Iseran, au-dessus de Val d’Isère, est encore fermé. Suggestion réservée aux explorateurs à (très) gros mollets : un long écart depuis Moutiers, via Brides-les-Bains, pour gravir le col de la Loze (2304 m), voie verte d’altitude entre Méribel et Courchevel. Ses ruptures de pentes incessantes parfois à plus de 20%, en ont fait l’une des arrivées les plus spectaculaires du Tour de France 2020. De Bourg-Saint-Maurice à Saint- Départ Arrivée François-Longchamp par le col Bourg-Saint-Maurice Saint-François- Longchamp de la Madeleine Durée Itinéraire Nord / Sud 5 h 20 min Distance 80,02 Km ↗ 2387 m ↘ 1629 m Niveau Attention, longue étape : 70 km et dénivelé total Ça grimpe Thématique supérieur à 2300 mètres. Pour commencer, descendez Montagnes l’Avenue Verte de Tarentaise, voie verte agréable et ombragée, jusqu’à Aime. Ensuite, nous vous conseillons d’emprunter, rive gauche, la petite route en balcon (D 88) par le col du Tra (1305 m) et Notre- Dame-du-Pré, afin d’éviter l’essentiel de la nationale très fréquentée. Depuis Moutiers, carrefour des 3 Vallées, rejoignez Aigueblanche, puis la station thermale de La Léchère-les-Bains, où vous entamez la longue ascension du col de la Madeleine (1993 m) : 1600 mètres de dénivelé sur environ 25 kilomètres.

Sont concernés par cette rubrique les petits ouvrages qui ne constituent pas à proprement parlé des livres imprimés reliés ou brochés ou qui sont trop "étriqués" pour êtres conservés dans le fonds de bibliothèque. En grande partie issue de la « littérature grise », sans éditeur précisé, sans diffusion en librairie, ces brochures sont souvent des dépliants touristiques, des rapports, des thèses. A noter que les programmes d'une page, les invitations sont en série FI. Quant aux journaux et articles de journaux, ils se classent avec les périodiques. Nous trouverons dans cette série environ 700 brochures, de l'imprimé à la photocopie ou au document dactylographié, sur des sujets très variés.
