Eating and Drinking
The flat is next to a great bar - L'Auberge du Prorel (known locally as Le Ros Bif). It has good beer, rickety old wooden furniture, regular live music (mostly English bands) and the barstaff are mainly Scandinavian - an excellent combination.
With the Italian border only 15 minutes away (and Briancon has been part of Italy several times in its history) the food available is mainly French or Italian - but there are also Indian and Chinese restaurants. Go to the old town for plenty of choice or there are about 6 restaurants on Rue Centrale (to the right off the main roundabout as you head up to the old town. La Louisianna (Avenue Rene Froger) doesn't look much from the outside but it has good food and service at a reasonable price.
There are street maps in the apartment for you to use.
A good local pizza takeaway is Pizza Chris by the roundabout on Rue Maurice Petch. A few yards further on is the local Co-Op supermarket (Shoppi)- about 5 minutes walk from the apartment. There are 2 large hypermarkets within a couple of minutes drive - Champion and Geant Casino.
Opposte the main entrance is a bread shop ideal for fresh croissants & baguettes etc.
