Briançon is a town in the Hautes-Alpes
department in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region in
southeastern France. At 1,350 metres it is the second highest
city in Europe after Davos, Klosters, and is built on a plateau
around the confluence of the Durance and the Guisane. The historical
centre of Briançon is a strongly fortified town built
by Vauban, a military engineer of King Louis XIV, where the picturesque
streets are steep and narrow. Briançon is the base and
lowest altitude station of the large Serre Chevalier ski resort.
Most of the town's accommodation is used exclusively in the winter
season, the population tripling during that period. |
