Gap Travel Guide
France
Gap is a French city of 42,715 people in the country's south-east. It is inland rather than a coastal destination, so visitors come for the city and surrounding mountain landscapes rather than seaside access.
Travellers arriving by air can use Tallard Airport, which serves Gap. There are no notable named beaches within 40 kilometres, so beach trips are not a practical reason to base yourself here.
