Correncon-en-Vercors

Corrençon-en-Vercors has served as a mountain settlement in the Vercors massif since the Middle Ages. Set on the limestone plateau of the French Prealps, it stands near the headwaters of the Bourne, the river that later cuts through the Gorges de la Bourne. The village borders the Hauts-Plateaux du Vercors National Nature Reserve, a vast protected area of high pastures, forest and rocky escarpments. In winter, Corrençon is linked to the Villard-de-Lans ski area; in warmer months, hiking and cycling take over. The wider Vercors is also remembered as an important centre of French Resistance activity during the Second World War.
