Selonnet: Le Berguet

Tucked into the Blanche valley in the southern French Alps, Selonnet is a place whose character is shaped by its highland climate and steep mountain terrain. This commune in Alpes-de-Haute-Provence includes the Chabanon-Selonnet ski area, bringing a clear winter-sports focus to a landscape of forests, pastures and scattered hamlets. The Torrent de la Blanche runs through the valley, while mountain farming remains part of the local identity beyond the ski season. In warmer months, the surrounding slopes suit walking and cycling in a quieter Alpine setting.

Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur occupies France’s southeastern Mediterranean coast and Alpine borderlands. Its terrain runs from the Rhône delta and the Camargue wetlands to the limestone coves of the Calanques and the high valleys of the French Alps, while the Côte d’Azur forms its celebrated shoreline. Marseille, France’s oldest city, is a major port, and Avignon’s Palais des Papes recalls the 14th-century papal court. Inland, Provençal markets, olive cultivation and lavender-growing areas remain central to regional identity.
