Presentation

A former sanatorium, the Rhône-Azur establishment has stood out in the landscape since the 1950s and tells the story of Briançon's climate.
Come and visit this liner moored in the mountains, now a listed historic monument with the "20th Century Heritage" label.
From light to dark, discover its rationalist architecture, corridors and bedrooms on a surprising tour.
Its medical atmosphere was the inspiration for Alex Hugo's detective stories, some of which you'll come across again and again.
