The south begins in "Martigny": thanks to the large number of hours of sunshine, tomatoes and wine grapes thrive here, in addition to apricot and other fruit trees. The city itself also exudes a southern atmosphere, which is further enhanced by the recurring traces of Roman times that appear in the cityscape. In addition, Martigny benefits from a favorable location: at the intersection of the major Alpine routes over the Simplon and Great Bernard Passes, and close to various winter sports centers. It developed into an important cultural center partly thanks to the Fondation Pierre Gianadda.
