As the capital of the Hautes-Alpes, Briançon spreads its neighbourhoods around the Vauban town, a UNESCO-listed site, and Vauban’s fortifications. The hamlets of the Briançonnais open onto alpine pastures, larches and panoramas of the Écrins. Here, alpine longères and stone houses are accompanied by barns, outbuildings and enclosed gardens.
Central markets, mountain cheeses and local honeys make up the local art of living. Fireplaces, exposed beams and tree-lined plots host orchards and vegetable gardens. Briançon station and the link to Serre Chevalier make ski, cycling and hiking getaways easy.
