Bourg-Saint-Maurice: N90
Among the places of Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, Bourg-Saint-Maurice stands out for its role as a road and rail hub in the Tarentaise valley. The town lies on the Isère in the northern French Alps, where the N90 follows the valley floor toward Albertville and the high resorts of Tarentaise. Bourg-Saint-Maurice is a principal arrival point for Les Arcs: a funicular links the town with Arc 1600, while the resort’s other villages occupy higher slopes. Its station provides rail connections with Paris and other French cities. The valley is also associated with Beaufort, the firm cooked cow’s-milk cheese produced in the Alpine pastures of Tarentaise.

Bourg-Saint-Maurice has served as a market centre in the Tarentaise Valley since the Middle Ages. Set on the Isère River in the French Alps, it is a working mountain town surrounded by routes leading toward some of Savoie’s major high-altitude resorts. The railway from Albertville ends here, while the funicular climbs directly to Arc 1600, linking the town with the Les Arcs ski area. Its parish church, dedicated to Saint Maurice, reflects the long-standing religious identity of the valley. In summer, the Isère is also known for white-water sports.

Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes is widely known in France for the French Alps, the major mountain chain along its eastern edge. This vast administrative region also extends west across the Massif Central and follows the Rhône valley, bringing together volcanic uplands, river corridors and major cities. Lyon, the regional capital, stands between the Rhône and Saône, and its historic centre is inscribed on UNESCO’s World Heritage List. Near these coordinates, northern Ardèche lies close to the wooded hills of the Pilat area, where the Rhône corridor forms a transition between upland country and valley settlements. Alpine cheeses and Rhône valley wines reflect the region’s varied terrain. Browse additional webcams from the surrounding area to extend your view of Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes.

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.
