Saint-Etienne-de-Tinee: Auron départ Las Donnas
Built around a mountain road above the Tinée valley, Auron grew into a year-round Alpine resort. The settlement belongs to the commune of Saint-Étienne-de-Tinée in the southern French Alps, in the Mercantour region near the Italian border. Its ski area rises from the resort at 1,600 metres to 2,450 metres, with pistes and lifts spread across open slopes and wooded sections. Auron was among France’s early purpose-built ski stations, opening in 1937; that heritage still shapes its compact centre of chalet-style buildings and mountain facilities. Beyond the lifts, the Tinée valley links this high resort with older villages and the rugged terrain of Mercantour.

Saint-Étienne-de-Tinée sits on the Tinée River in France’s Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur region, where a steep Alpine valley rises toward the Mercantour massif. The compact old centre is anchored by the parish church of Saint-Étienne, a reminder of the Baroque heritage of the former County of Nice. The commune also includes Auron, a mountain resort above the valley, and provides access to high-country routes leading toward the Col de la Bonette. Nearby protected terrain forms part of Mercantour National Park. Discover other points of interest through webcams located across the Tinée valley and Mercantour.

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.

The Atlantic and Mediterranean coastlines, together with the Alps, Pyrenees and broad river basins, define much of France — they support maritime trade, farming, wine regions and travel throughout the year. The Seine runs through Paris, where the Eiffel Tower and the Louvre are among Europe’s most recognised landmarks. The Loire Valley is known for Renaissance châteaux, while Mont-Saint-Michel rises from a tidal bay in Normandy. Regional food traditions are equally distinctive, from Breton seafood to Provençal cooking, with bread, cheese and wine central to everyday life. France’s global cultural influence is evident in its language, literature, fashion and cinema.
