Briancon a commune in the Hautes-Alpes department in the Provence-Alpes-Cote d’Azur region in southeastern France. It is a sub-prefecture of the department. Briancon is built on a plateau nucleated around the confluence of the Durance and the Guisane rivers.The historical centre is a strongly fortified town, built by Vauban to defend the region from Austrians in the 17th century. Its streets are very steep and narrow, though picturesque.
Briancon lies at the foot of the descent from the Col de Montgenevre, giving access to Turin, so a great number of other fortifications have been constructed on the heights around it, especially towards the east. The Fort Janus is no less than 1,200 m. above the town.The parish church, with its two towers, was built 1703-1726, and occupies a very conspicuous position.
