The presence of the Conservatoire Botanique here is an indication of the city's commitment to taking steps to protect the environment and preserve local natural heritage.
With its pure air, its wide range of sporting and cultural activities, its outstanding landscapes, and its 300 days of sunshine per year, Gap is a place you will never tire of exploring and makes the perfect destination for a relaxing and unforgettable holiday with family or friends.
