I am a geographer, specialized in the geography of heritage and tourism. From protected areas and cultural sites, I analyze the actions of actors in the construction of what constitutes “heritage”, as well as the modes of management and development of tourism in different mountain territories.

As a geographer, I start from what I observe in space to analyze the way in which territorial actors operate at different scales. At the same time, I analyze the values attributed to places which thereby become “heritage”, the associated management methods and their effects on the construction of territories.
