Modane

Compact town in the Maurienne Valley of Savoie, Modane sits within the Vanoise National Park close to the Italian border, with mountain scenery on all sides and a compact centre with cafés and restaurants. Part of the Kingdom of Sardinia until 1860, it carries a cross-border character that still shapes the area.
