Vauban's fortifications

Listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Vauban's fortifications tower majestically over Briançon.

Built in the 17th century, they bear witness to French military genius and the vision of a man who knew how to combine strategy and aesthetics. Take a stroll through the bastions and monumental gates, and soak up the timeless atmosphere of the old town. From the top of the ramparts, the view over the surrounding valleys is breathtaking: a tableau vivant where stone, sky and light mingle. A place of history and emotion, a must-see.
