Grand Site de France
The "Grand Site de France" is a designation given to exceptional natural and cultural sites in France that are recognized for their beauty and heritage. This initiative aims to promote sustainable tourism while preserving the environment and local culture. Each site is managed to ensure that visitors can enjoy the area without causing harm to its natural resources.
These sites often include remarkable landscapes, historical landmarks, and unique ecosystems. Examples of such sites include the Mont-Saint-Michel and the Cliffs of Étretat. The program encourages collaboration between local communities, conservationists, and tourism operators to maintain the integrity of these treasured locations.
