BONNEVAL-SUR-ARC
FRANCE
IMAGE NUMBER 1091
This authentic and typically Savoyard village, the highest of the Maurienne region, has charming old stone houses with slate roofs and wooden balconies. Bonneval-sur-Arc is also a village ski resort. The village is just below the Col de L'Iseran, the highest paved pass in Europe.
Atticus captured this house, not because it is typical, but because it is extraordinary. Too many photographers in this region seek to extrapolate the ordinary from the exceptional. Very few houses near Mont Blanc go to such floral exuberance.
