"Nestled between France and Italy, protected like a castle by natural borders, elevated mountain passes, narrow peaks, hollow valleys, Queyras is miraculously winning the terrible war which many beautiful countries of the world lose, one after an other, destroyed and devasted by the torrent of tourism.

Even until recently, it was said, that isolation hindered those who suffered from it : However, henceforth,  it guarantees a certain progression to those who knew how or were able to preserve the uniqueness of it.  Having been saved, relatively, from the many noices, ugliness and repetitions of advertising, Queyras has become therefore, now one of last paradises in France where a day's walk meets only jackdaws and grouses on the transparency of the wind. From this day on, sustainable environmental-friendly tourism will only be able to develop in countries which, in danger of inviting devastion, limits its excesses."
