Place forte de Mont-Dauphin

A remarkable defensive site.

Dominating the valleys of the Guil and the Durance, which was based on designs by Vauban, was constantly perfected from the 18th to 19th century. Mont-Dauphin is perhaps France’s finest example of military architecture in the classical style.

Designated world heritage site by UNESCO
