From past to present : Haute Maurienne Vanoise is pÔp!
With pÔp! Enjoy new experiences linked to the well-known and little-known heritage of Haute Maurienne Vanoise
Haute Maurienne Vanoise is proud of its rich and varied heritage, its assets and its attractiveness, and would like to showcase and share its local, social and economic heritage with you through a variety of experiences and unique visits.
pÔp! What is it?
⦁ It's an approach with a slightly offbeat tone that accompanies you, our visitors, as you discover the heritage of Haute Maurienne Vanoise and experience the past in the present.
⦁ And to illustrate it, we've introduced an acronym: "pÔp!" Diminutive of: passé Ô présent.
An interjection that plays with the "Ô" (a nod to Savoyard dialect) and has fun with the homophones of the word passé to pay tribute to the singular history of our territory.
⦁ pÔp! Finally, it's different media (physical and digital) and formats: a paper guide and dedicated map1, a board game1, an address book and an updated calendar of events for each season that lift the veil on our magnificent valley.
