The French Alps are the portions of the Alps mountain range that stand within France, located in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes and Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur regions.
For nature lovers, the French Alps is the ultimate destination in France. This area boasts some of the most magnificent natural scenery in Europe, with awe-inspiring mountains, crystal-clear lakes, rushing waterfalls, and pristine forests. The most famous sight is Mont Blanc, the highest mountain peak in the Alps.

In quaint mountain villages, ski resorts such as Chamonix, Val d'Isère, and Portes du Soleil have excellent facilities and offer a lively ambience, and regional charm.
