Description

Visit and discovery of the Vauban fortifications, World Heritage, in the company of guide-lecturers from the Briançon Heritage Department.
After a 25-minute climb on a stony path, you will reach the small redoubt designed by Vauban to prevent the enemy from positioning themselves on a flat area overlooking the town. Built between 1709 and 1712, it was transformed into a real fort in the 19th century. The guide reserves the right to cancel or interrupt any visit if necessary for the safety of visitors. Online booking on the Briançon Serre-Chevalier tourist office website. There is no public water or toilet in the fort during the winter months. Please bring clothes and shoes suitable for the mountains.
