Lac de Serre-Ponçon — turquoise waters between Alps and Provence

Western Europe's largest artificial lake (28 km², created in 1960), Lac de Serre-Ponçon offers turquoise waters framed by mountains: swimming, paddleboarding, sailing, kayaking, equipped beaches (Saint-Michel, Savines-le-Lac). The Chanteloube viewpoint (spectacular panorama), the Boscodon Abbey (12th century, Romanesque art, larch forest) and Embrun (Romanesque Notre-Dame du Réal cathedral, perched on a rock above the Durance) complete this magnificent setting.

Écrins National Park — wild high mountains

The Écrins National Park (91,800 ha, France's second largest national park in metropolitan France) is a high-mountain sanctuary: Glacier Blanc (accessible hike from Vallouise), La Meije (3,983 m, one of the last great alpine faces to be conquered), high-altitude lakes (Lac de l'Eychauda, Lac du Lauvitel), wildlife (ibexes, chamois, bearded vultures, golden eagles, marmots). A magnificent natural setting for mountain-loving couples.

An unforgettable high-altitude road trip as a couple.
