1885

This photo, taken in the French Alps, is not only a testament to the diverse topography that exists in France but also to the ways in which people interact with it. France itself is not a very large country, especially in comparison to others like Canada, the United States and China. However, it does encompass such a wide range of landscapes, making it one of the most fascinating geographic locations in the world. Snow capped mountains are a mere drive from crystal blue lakes and green hilltops. Accordingly, the assortment of different terrains in France lends itself perfectly to numerous things, including outdoor recreational activities like the hikers in the photo, as well as a vast miscellany of regional cuisines and cultures.
