Gap (the town) Is anyone known Gap ? Not the clothes brand but my town ; the place I live. It's in the south of France between Marseille and Grenoble. It's in a mountainous area and you can find a large lake where you can practice all the water activities you want from may until october. During winter you practice all kind off slides. It's a very sunny region (300 days per year !). Every august 15th at Embrun (30kms west from Gap), take place one of the most hardest triathlon in the world called the Embrunman : start at 6 a.m (it's still dark) with 3.8kms swimming, and after come THE big part : 188kms riding with 5000m denivellation (elevation ? I mean up and down...) and you finish with a 42.180kms marathon with 700m (the same world !). After 10h of competition (event ?), the first man finish this event (the first lady 2 hours after, awesome !) and the last will pass the finish lane late in the evening around 11 or 12 pm ! But Gap it's also its gastronomy, its sweet living (it's calling the west capital), the beginning of the Provence, the passage of The Tour de France almost every year (Lautaret, Galibier,...), the Monte Carlo rally (Sébastien Ogier was born in Gap !), international climbing event and so more...
