Briançon Fortifications Walking Tour (Beyond Cité Vauban)
Discover the lesser-known defensive structures surrounding Briançon, part of Vauban's impressive legacy. This guided walking tour explores forts like Fort des Salettes, Fort des Têtes, and the Communication Y, offering deeper insights into military architecture and the strategic importance of Briançon. Unlike the more crowded Cité Vauban, these tours often provide a more intimate historical experience with stunning panoramic views. Tours typically last 2-3 hours and cost around €15-€20 per person. Available year-round, but access to some forts might be restricted by snow in winter.
