Les Belleville: Col du Mottet où de Roche Blanche
Col du Mottet lies in the upper Morel valley, where broad alpine slopes rise above Valmorel in the French Alps. The pass and nearby Roche Blanche form part of the Grand Domaine ski area, which links Valmorel with Saint-François-Longchamp across the mountains of Savoie. This is a high, largely treeless section of the resort, shaped by ski lifts, prepared runs and ridgelines rather than village streets. Valmorel was created as a purpose-built mountain resort in 1976, with timber-and-stone architecture intended to echo traditional Savoyard settlements. Beyond the developed slopes, the surrounding terrain belongs to the Lauzière massif, whose higher ground gives this sector its open alpine character.

Les Belleville lies along the Belleville Valley in the Savoie Alps, a long alpine corridor linking traditional settlements with the high-altitude resorts of Les Menuires and Val Thorens. The commune belongs to Les 3 Vallées, an interconnected ski area extending across three valleys. In Saint-Martin-de-Belleville, the Baroque sanctuary of Notre-Dame-de-la-Vie reflects Savoy’s religious art and local building traditions. In summer, paths and mountain roads lead through the valley; winter life centres on the upper slopes and lifts.

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.
