Briançon: Art & History Town

briancon

Located 1326m above sea-level, in the heart of the Southern Alps, Briancon lies where five valleys meet - Haute Durance, Guisane, Clarée, Ayes and Cerveyrette - and therefore occupies a remarkable site.

Central meeting point in the Alps, the town benefitted from economic, political and strategic development, nationally and internationally as well. Awarded by the French ministry of Culture, it is an official symbol of a rich cultural past.

Briançon: Outdoor sports Town

In the second half of the 19th century, a new activity appeared in the Briançon area: tourism. With summer and winter sports expanding fast, the area soon enjoyed widespread fame.

Nowadays, the Briançon area is also one of the main destinations for French cycling, and proudly welcomes the Tour de France on summer time.
