Activities and Attractions

Gap is a small city where you can find everything you need (green grocers, bakeries, pastry shops, doctors, pharmacies, downtown market twice a week, supermarkets...) You can go shopping (there are many clothing and shoe stores downtown or in the outlying shops), relax (there is a big downtown park), exercise (there are many sports teams and clubs, a skating rink, two stadiums and a bike path) and there is an urban bus system that is completely free!

Gap has a lot of advantages. In the summer, for example, there is often free evening entertainment, such as street performances and classical or modern music concerts, which help create a pleasant atmosphere.

A Peaceful Town

Gap isn't Paris, so there are not a lot of nightclubs (just two)! People come to Gap for the scenery, small-town feel and to meet nice people. You can have a lot of fun in Gap even if it's a small city!

The citizens of Gap are very kind and welcoming!
Life is good in Gap!
