Chorges

Chorges has served as a road settlement in the southern French Alps since Roman times, when it was known as Caturigomagus. Set on the route between Gap and Embrun, the town lies close to Lac de Serre-Ponçon, the large reservoir that has reshaped this part of the Hautes-Alpes. Its centre retains the practical scale of an Alpine commune, with the church of Saint-Victor as a historic focal point. Roads from Chorges lead towards the Écrins mountains, Briançon and the Ubaye valley, while the lake gives the surrounding highland terrain a distinct character.
