La Roche-de-Rame

A magnificent view over the municipality of La Roche-de-Rame which lies entirely on the left-hand bank of the Durance. Like L'Argentière-la-Bessée, its recent history has been profoundly marked by industry which saw rapid expansion in the early twentieth century. Well known for its natural stretch of water, a glacial lake, the hamlets of the municipality are dotted across the slopes. Higher up, two large valleys are carved into the massif, forming a fork with the Bouchouse and Queyras valleys.
