Serviced Apartments in Briançon

Briançon, a city in Hautes Alpes, in close proximity to France's Italian border, is Europe’s highest town. Briançon is a part of the well-known ski resort of Serre-Chevalier, rendering winter sports popular. Briançon holiday lets also attract families and tourists keen to explore other activities.
The city is divided into two parts: the fortified Old Town, atop of a hill, and the New Town, in the valley. The majority of tourist attractions are found in the Old Town yet sporting activities and shopping take centre stage in the New Town. Souvenir shops are relatively rare in the city - a contrast to France’s other ski resorts.

While in Old Town, look out for brightly painted houses. The houses here are akin to those found in northern Italy. Ornate fountains can also be found dotted around the Old Town and are the subject of many a tourist’s photographic opportunities. Churches and other religious buildings can be found in abundance in Briançon. You are sure to find an ancient attraction of interest near to your Briançon serviced flats. It is advisable to explore the Old Town on foot; the streets are narrow and steep and so difficult to navigate by car.

Some of France’s finest rock climbing can be found in the valleys surrounding Briançon. There are climbing opportunities for novice, intermediate and advanced climbers who have rented Briançon aparthotels.

If you are not brave enough to try your hand at climbing, there are a range of other activities to partake in. The Romanche valley is a beautiful place in which to take a leisurely stroll while those who wish to experience a thrill can engage in white water kayaking at the modern training facility in Argentière la Bessée, a few kilometres south of Briançon.

If you are visiting the city during a cold spell, aim to take a trip from your Briançon serviced accommodation to visit the Fournel valley in the south of Briançon. Here, you may be treated to the spectacular sight of frozen waterfalls.

Restaurants are less plentiful in Briançon than in other French cities. However, there are countless pizza places. If you are seeking traditional French cuisine, you may have some difficulties in finding authentic restaurants near to your Briançon holiday apartments. The restaurant le Panicaut on Rue Centrale is one of the few French restaurants here. The cuisine in Briançon is that of a mountain region. Wild herbs, spelt, goat’s meat and goat cheeses are commonplace on restaurant menus.
