GUIL-EBIKE

November 16, 2020

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.
