EDITORS COMMENTS
Montmelian, Savoie Department, Rhône-Alpes Region, France - The River Isère Valley and Named Peaks of the Alpine Range (circa 1908) This photograph transports us back in time to the picturesque town of Montmelian, nestled in the heart of the Savoie department in the Rhône-Alpes region of France. The image, taken circa 1908, showcases the breathtaking beauty of the area, with its stunning mountain vistas and the meandering River Isère running through the valley below. Montmelian, a historic town with a rich past, is situated at the foot of the Alpine range, surrounded by snow-capped peaks that tower above the landscape. In the foreground, the ancient fortified town of Montmelian can be seen, its imposing walls and towers standing proud against the backdrop of the mountains. The town's name derives from the Latin 'mons melanus,' meaning 'black mountain,' a fitting description given the dark hue of the rocks that dominate the area. The photograph features several named peaks of the Alpine range, including Arclusaz, Argentières, Aiguille Verte, Mont Blanc de Marantin, Grande Lanche, Arc, Col Basmont, and Ballachat. The highest peak, Mont Blanc, is the most famous and is the highest mountain in the Alps and Europe. The snow-covered peaks and the lush green valley create a breathtaking contrast, making this a truly awe-inspiring scene. The River Isère, which flows through the valley, adds to the serene beauty of the landscape. The river, which originates in the Swiss Alps, is an essential source of water for the region and has played a significant role in the history and development of Montmelian and the surrounding areas. This photograph is a testament to the natural beauty and rich history of Montmelian and the Savoie department, a place where the past and present come together to create a truly magical destination.
