Why go dans les Marches?

The Marche region has a rich heritage of human, social and cultural values, all of which are worth discovering. Its name, which dates back to the early Middle Ages, refers to the lands that were ruled by the Markgraven, the marquises that governed on behalf of the German emperors who repelled the Lombards in the south and the Byzantines in the north. In hundreds of towns, the sagre (festivals), the gastronomy and the traditions bear witness to a treasure trove of ancient culture that has been able to adapt to the demands of urban civilisation. To feel the pulse of this region of eastern Italy, take a walk in the Conero Park near Ancona, discover the great cliffs where beautiful beaches are buried under lush vegetation, swim in the turquoise waters of the Adriatic, immerse yourself in the caves of Frasassi and discover the towns with their cobbled streets to immerse yourself in a Renaissance atmosphere.
