Briançon stretches across the Hautes-Alpes, amid mountain scenery and fortified heritage. Its old town, known as the Vauban city, can be explored on foot along a network of sloping streets, passageways and old squares. The ramparts and historic gates give the quarter a distinct identity from the neighbouring alpine resorts. The city suits travellers who want to combine heritage visits, walks and outdoor activities.

Porte Dauphine, Porte de Pignerol and Maison du Temple are close to the villa. The church of Notre-Dame and Saint-Nicolas, a former collegiate church, is one of the city’s historic landmarks. Briançon’s Vauban fortifications are a UNESCO World Heritage Site; you can also learn about their history at the museum and by exploring the defensive structures. Briançon railway station is 1.6 km away. For winter sports, Montgenèvre ski resort is 7 km away; the trails and scenery of Écrins National Park attract walkers in the warmer months.

In winter, you can spend the day skiing and enjoying snow activities, while summer is a good time for hiking and trips to higher ground. Spring and autumn offer another way to discover the city’s streets and fortifications, with temperatures often milder than in the height of summer. Bring sturdy shoes for the steep streets and walks around the ramparts. During a stay of several days, you can alternate between historic visits in the old town and mountain outings, experiencing the atmosphere of an old city as well as that of a ski resort.
