Les Contamines-Monjoie en Haute-Savoie
France

Le Val Montjoie constitue la bordure sud-ouest du massif du Mont-Blanc. On accède par Saint-Gervais-les-Bains à cette petite vallée orientée nord-sud qui abrite le village des Contamines-Montjoie. Les communes limitrophes des Contamines-Montjoie sont Saint-Gervais-les-Bains et Megève en Haute-Savoie, Hauteluce, Beaufort et Bourg-Saint-Maurice en Savoie, puis Courmayeur dans la Vallée d'Aoste en Italie.

 

La vallée des Contamines-Montjoie vue depuis le Cey

Le village des Contamines-Montjoie est à une altitude de 1 164 mètres. Le territoire de la commune est dominé par de nombreux sommets :

À l'est : c'est le domaine de la haute montagne : les dômes de Miage (3 673 m) et l'aiguille de Bionnassay (4 052 m) situés dans le massif du Mont-Blanc sont en glace toute l'année.

À l'ouest : la station de sports d'hiver s'étend sur les flancs du mont Joly (2 525 m) et permet de rejoindre le domaine skiable de Hauteluce par le col du Joly. Le sommet des pistes situé à la tête du Véleray offre ainsi un panorama sur le massif du Mont-Blanc, la chaîne des Aravis et la vallée du Beaufortain.

Au sud : une voie dite romaine mène au col du Bonhomme qui conduit à l'Italie. Cette voie mène aussi au refuge de la Balme, au col de la fenêtre et aux lacs Jovet.

More About France

France is affectionately referred to as "the Hexagon" for its overall shape.French history goes back to the Gauls, a Celtic tribe which inhabited the area circa 300BC until being conquered by Julius Caesar.The Franks were the first tribe to adopt Catholic Christianity after the Roman Empire collapsed. France became an independent location in the Treaty of Verdun in (843 AD), which divided up Charlemagne's Carolingian Empire into several portions.The French monarchy reached its zenith during the reign of Louis XIV, the Sun King, who stood for seventy-two years as the Monarch of all Monarchs. His palace of Versailles and its Hall of Mirrors are a splendid treasure-trove of Baroque art.The French Revolution ended the rule of the monarchy with the motto "Liberty, Equality, Fraternity!" On July 14th, 1789 angry mobs stormed La Bastille prison and began the Revolution in which Louis XVI, his wife Marie-Antoinette and thousands of others met the guillotine.One decade after the revolution, Napolean Bonaparte seized control of the Republic and named himself Emperor. His armies conquered most of Europe and his Napoleonic Code became a lasting legal foundation for concepts of personal status and property.During the period of colonization France controlled the largest empire in the world, second only to Britain.France is one of the founding members of the European Union and the United Nations, as well as one of the nuclear armed nations of the world.Text by Steve Smith.
