Saint-Dalmas-le-Selvage: Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, France
Saint-Dalmas-le-Selvage is best known in the French Alps for its high position at the head of the Tinée valley. At about 1,500 metres, this small commune in Alpes-Maritimes lies among the steep valleys and high ridges of the Mercantour massif. The Tinée rises in its territory, which extends north towards the Col de la Bonette and includes mountain pasture, larch woodland and rocky slopes. Its compact centre is built in the local Alpine style, with stone houses grouped around the Romanesque church of Saint-Dalmas. Far from the Riviera coast, the village represents the upland character of Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur, shaped by livestock farming, seasonal grazing and mountain routes.

Marseille, France’s oldest city, is a major port, and Avignon’s Palais des Papes recalls the 14th-century papal court.

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.
