En un regard
Le château en bref
The Fort des Salettes overlooks Briançon at 1,538 m above sea level, above the first hairpin bends leading to the Croix de Toulouse. Built from 1708 to 1712 to a design by Vauban carried out by Tardif, it guards the road to Italy. The façades and roofs are listed as monuments historiques classés, and the rest of the fort has been listed as a monument historique inscrit since the order of 14 February 1989; it belongs to the commune and is restored and animated by the Club du Vieux Manoir. It forms part of the "Fortifications of Vauban" site inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List.
