Breuil - the city of high altitude , built in a desert of rocks and ice -

The great beauty of a desert cathedral. This is Breuil, once a village now a city.

Originally Breuil was a village at the feet of one of the most famous mountains in the world. Today, it represents the conquest of the Alps, that industrialist strength that changed a difficult and sour territory making it hospitable, with a different soul from the megalopoli of lowland. Breuil is an example of modernity’s strength, one that is soaked with rationality and that guided the human’s acts for a long time, that has brought in the last three centuries, to the transformation of the mysterious Alps to a place of exploitation and consumption, a carnival.
