Local people

On these high plains, in Villard de Lans and Corrençon en Vercors to be precise, there are people who bring this unique terroir to life, from generation to generation, from family to family and from mentor to apprentice. In this mountainous region, where daily life is organised around the constant contrast of the seasons, these lovers of their land innovate while respecting their traditions. The first of these is hospitality.

Through these ten portraits, we invite you to meet them. Discovering them means accepting to be shaken up by their attentions, to be surprised by forgotten flavours and to experience real things alongside them.

The project

They are the people behind a freshly groomed track, a festive event, a cheese with character, a perfectly smooth green and even a timber frame.
They are the locals .

Men and women who live in the heart of our region all year round, contributing to its reputation and hospitality. They work behind the scenes, making a discreet yet essential contribution to the life of our mountains. Unique stories, sometimes spanning 5 generations, told through 10 portraits to be discovered in an iconic book created by the Tourist Office. A year’s work to capture, capture and immortalise these people and their relationship with the land, nature and the destination they represent.

Come and meet the people who shape this living region!

Here, as elsewhere, one thing is certain: journeys only make sense when they cross paths with others.
