Les Houches: Chemin de la Georganne - N205
Among the places of Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, Les Houches stands out for its position on the N205, the Route Blanche linking the A40 with Chamonix and the Mont Blanc Tunnel. The commune occupies the upper valley of the Arve beneath the Mont Blanc massif, where a settled valley floor meets steep mountain terrain. Chemin de la Georganne forms part of its local street network close to this major Alpine corridor. Les Houches is one of the communities of the Chamonix-Mont-Blanc valley and a base for mountain sports. The Tramway du Mont-Blanc, a rack railway serving the heights above the valley, has stops at Bellevue and Col de Voza in the commune. Its presence reflects the region’s long tradition of mountain travel.

Built around farming hamlets in the Arve valley, Les Houches developed into a year-round Alpine resort on the western side of the Mont Blanc massif. The commune lies between Chamonix and Saint-Gervais-les-Bains, where wooded slopes rise toward high mountain terrain and the Arve flows down-valley. Its Prarion and Bellevue lift areas provide access to walking and skiing terrain, while La Verte des Houches, known as the Kandahar course, has hosted men’s Alpine Ski World Cup downhill races.

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.
