Situated on her(it) "Via Cottia per Alpem", Gap arises from the arrival of Romans in the first century AD, under the name of Vapincum.
Two centuries later, the town surrounds itself with ramparts, and becomes, to high Moyen-Age, an important écclésiastique principality.
|
Gap, sweet capital, with its facades in tints pastel and its landscapes of mountain, knew how to conjugate tradition and modernity with a quality of jealously protected life.
Between Provence and Dauphiné, she(it) benefits from a Mediterranean climate, moderated by her(its) situation in 750 metres in height.
|
The ideal geographic position, at equal distance between Rhone-Alps, Italy of the North and the Mediterranean Sea, the place in the crossroads of the tourist main roads of the Alps.
In summary, "Gap is a city of the South surrounded with mountains, a capital in the middle of nowhere. And you will see, it is in the nature to be welcoming...!"
For any specific information the Office of Tourism provides you with a complete documentation on the city.
