or Briancon accommodation? Briancon is a city, in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur Region, of southeastern France. Located about 10km from the border with Italy, the town of Briancon sits on a rocky outcrop about 100km east of Grenoble and is one of the highest cities in Europe, with about 300 days of sunshine per year. Armed forces activity linked with the city’s location near the frontier with Italy has long held first place in the city’s economic life; it is also known, however, as a curative resort, with numerous sanatoriums.
Briancon attracts a lot of tourists in the summer, plus the food in Briancon is very Italian in feel and style and there are lots of good places to eat. Briançon lies at the merging of the Durance and Guisanne rivers.
It is the old town of Briancon for which it is most reputed, and was designed by the ever productive Vauban. The town is further protected by numerous fortified outposts in the surrounding mountains. The main street of the town, running steeply down the hillside, is lined with attractive old buildings, but it is the views of the surrounding countryside and mountains that will captivate you the most. The historical centre is a strongly fortified town. Its streets are very steep and narrow, though picturesque. Briançon lies at the foot of the descent from the Col de Montgenèvre giving access to Turin, so a great number of other fortifications have been constructed on the heights around it, especially towards the east. Briançon has often been a start or a finish of Tour de France. Briançon has featured regularly as a stage start or finish in the Tour de France and is thus a popular base for cyclists. Most of the town's accommodation is used exclusively in the winter season, however there are a few which are open all year round these include the La Chaussee, Les Trois Chamios and Parc Hotels. - Browse the Briancon Map or compare Briancon accommodation from Hotels, Motels, B&Bs,
