The Mercantour Resorts: at the heart of the Parc national du Mercantour!

Mercantour, just a few steps from the Côte d’Azur, has merited its National Park title since it earned it in 1979.

It’s the highest quality internationally recognised recognition of the quality and preservation of an area of outstanding natural beauty.

The heart of the national park stretches over 685 km² of natural beauty and 1463 km² of 28 outlaying villages.

Both areas uphold the national park’s mission to make Mercantour a space where preservation, exploration, local development and a respect for traditional activities can co-exist in harmony.

Nature everywhere deserves care and respect: admire the flora, but don’t pick it; observe the fauna, but don’t disturb…
