Briançon stretches across the Alps between the Durance and Guisane valleys. The old town, where L’Auberge de la Paix is located, is known for its steep streets, historic gates and fortifications. The ramparts and structures designed by Vauban are part of the UNESCO-listed heritage. Explore the neighbourhood on foot, taking time to wander through its old passageways and look towards the mountains surrounding the city. It suits visitors interested in heritage as well as those looking to combine a city visit with Alpine activities.

Porte Méane and the city’s old gates mark the nearby streets. Notre-Dame and Saint-Nicolas Church and Fort du Château are among the historic landmarks to discover. The Centre d'art contemporain and the Maison du Parc national des Écrins et Musée du Ski offer other visits, focusing respectively on contemporary art and mountain history. Briançon railway station is 1.3 km away. For trips to higher ground, the Montgenèvre ski resort is 7 km away; the landscapes and trails of the Écrins massif also offer plenty of opportunities for excursions.

In winter, nearby resorts attract skiers, while the milder season is well suited to walks and hikes. You can start the day at the fortifications and in the old town’s narrow streets, then head out to explore Alpine scenery. Mountain conditions change with altitude and the season, so bring suitable clothing for excursions. In summer, longer days leave more time for trails and visits, while winter gives the city a rhythm shaped by snow sports.
