One of the Briancon historical symbols is St. Jacob’s Chapel, which has almost completely retained its look since the day of its building. One can find an ancient chancel and icons in there and the atmosphere inside is still the same. A row of popular national restaurants is situated not far from the chapel and, moreover, there are some shops, which sale local food production.
The most fascinating affair is a long walk though the town. This way one can see various monuments and unique historical buildings all over the place. Walking lovers should consider the fact that the streets in Briancon are really steep and the long walk can be very difficult.
Modern Briancon is famous not only due to first-rate alpine skiing tracks, but for great sanatoria. Many tourists choose them for their family rest. The service level and facility range in Briancon sanatoria can be compared to the prestigious hotels. The resort is famous for its salubrious climate and that is why mountain walks can be added to the wellness rest.
The cultural rest can be diversified by visiting the local theatre. It was opened several years ago and is situated in a beautiful modern building, constructed according to the style of the past. Not only plays, but concerts and other cultural activities are held there.
