THE FISH THAT SWAM OVER THE MOUNTAINS

The iconic fish of the mountains

Synopsis

In the wild rivers of the Mercantour, a national park in the French Alps, lives a fish as elusive as it is fascinating: the brown trout. Its shape, colors, and patterns seem almost hand-painted, shaped over time by the waters it inhabits.

But behind this beauty lies a fragile species, one that has nevertheless proved capable of adapting to upheavals in its environment.

To understand its survival, one must also understand the river itself, those who study it, and those who watch over it.
