    Unesco heritage site, old military fort Mont Dauphin. Strategically situated with overlooks of the Guil and Durance valleys and several mountain passes.

    Built on a rocky spur-plateau, at an altitude of 1000 m, at the intersection of the Guil gorges and the Durance valley, the stronghold of Mont-Dauphin, a Unesco world heritage site, is a major place of European military architecture. Vauban wanted to make it a garrison town where the military could rub shoulders with civilian life in order to provide distractions and thus avoid desertions. Guided tours by the Center des Monuments Nationaux.

    Worth seeing fortress from the 17th century, built by Vauban.
