Great Places: Briancon

France’s highest city, Briancon is a fortified citadel and surrounded by several forts.  Briancon was of strategic importance guarding the border with Italy.  Its inhabitants successfully defended the city against a vastly superior Austrian army in 1815.  Of note are the fortifications designed by military engineer Vauban who influenced defensive constructions for centuries.

France. Region of Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur. Department of Hautes-Alpes. City of Briançon. Briançon is located at an altitude of 1,326 metres (4,350 feet) in southeastern France, near the confluence of Durance and Guisane rivers. It is close to the Parc National des Ecrins and the Vallée de la Clarée. The old town was built by the military architect Sébastien Le Prestre de Vauban (1633-1707) to protect the city from Austrians in the 17th century. Briançon has got steep and narrow streets and a lot of tourists visit it every year. A nearby mountain pass, the Col du Montgenèvre, leading towards Turin (former capital of the Duchy of Savoy, often at war with France). Several buildings of Briançon are now in the UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Every year there is a medieval festival in the old town, with knights and ladies in costume.

Great Places: Verdon Gorges aka Grand Canyon of Europe

Although not as massive as the other Grand Canyon, the Verdon Gorges have turquoise blue water unlike anywhere else.  The road around the rim of the canyon offers a fun ride and great panoramas.

Our tour was outstanding.  The guides, the food, the hotels, were better than I imagined.  The riding is out of this world.  Going back for another next season.

I had a three-day weekend in Grenoble following a work-trip, and I feel like I couldn’t have made a better choice about how to spend those days. It is truly hard to imagine a more enjoyable motorcycling environment than what I found: beautiful, curvy mountain roads in every direction. The weather was perfect, every portion was a thrill. It’s hard to pick which part was the best – so many contenders! It’s motorcycle heaven.
