    A cozy apartment with everything I love in a week's rental including local info, books to read, comfy furniture like home, equipped kitchen and flowers in the window. I also love the historic setting in the old town. So charming! The host Melanie...

Uniquely placed within the walls of the old town of Briançon; come and stay in our self-contained two bedroom apartment (sleeps four guests). You have your own private entrance and the apartment has everything you need to enjoy a stay whether visiting with family, friends or for work. You can enjoy a partial view of the mountains all year round from the balconette and some outside space for alfreso dining in spring and summer.
We love property, we love Briançon and the Serre Chevalier valley! Come and stay in our recently renovated old town house. We have been living here since 2001 when we set up an English-speaking ski school in Serre Chevalier. If you're booking a skiiing holiday, please ask about our reduced price lift passes and our English-speaking ski lessons and ski guiding.
We live in a UNESCO World Heritage Site - the medieval town of Briançon, the Cité Vauban. Great for skiing holidays, road cycling (many infamous local mountain passes), white water activities, sight-seeing, walking, climbing and fishing.
