When you plan to visit someone’s house, don’t forget to prepare small presents for hospitable hosts. Local people pay much attention to such things. A present must be modest, for example, you can give a bouquet of flowers to the hostess or give an interesting book as a present. While eating, it is important to communicate with other people at the table. Sometimes a mere family dinner can turn into an active discussion of current problems. The national cuisine is one more source of pride for local people, so they always try to treat visitors with best national delicacies and amaze them with fantastic culinary delights.
Cultural life is one more pride of local people. Despite the fact that Briancon is not one of the biggest cities in France, the city regularly hosts interesting events and celebrations that will be of a particular interest to travelers. All music fans will definitely like Altitude Jazz Festival that takes place in Briancon at the end of January and lasts more than two weeks. This is a large cultural event with multiple concerts and interesting performances that take place not only in the city but also in its surroundings. During the festival, the city turns into a one large concert venue. Jazz performances seem to take place virtually everywhere, in special venues, on the streets, and even in restaurants. Local restaurants and bars always participate in the festival and provide space for mini-concerts that take place in the evening and sometimes even during the lunchtime.
