Briancon
Tucked away near the Italian border and overshadowed by more popular regions of the Alps or Provence, Briançon is difficult to get to but is certainly worth the effort. It’s a top destination for a skier, but unfortunately my work trip was in bad time for snow – all I got, was a scorching sun, and freezing winds…
It’s a shame, but all photos are taken during burning sun hours. Due to lack of time, I couldn’t sit around wait for the right light. I hope to get there once again, for my personal leisure, and get photos that are really worth something.
As you wander round the Old Town you can see a number of sundials. As is the tradition, these have a motto on them, either in French, Latin or the local patois. Appropriately enough for Briançon, one has on it an ode to the Sun: “Without your light and heat we would have neither hours or flowers”.
