About Embrun

Centred around a quintessential Provençal old town, Embrun has been nicknamed “The Little Nice of the Alps” due to its sunny climate and mountainous setting. It lies at the eastern end of one of Western Europe’s largest reservoirs and served as an important bishopric see from the 4th century until the French Revolution.

Things to do in Embrun

One of Embrun’s most important buildings is the Notre-Dame-du-Real, a Romanesque Revival cathedral that dates back to the 12th century. It features an impressive portal flanked by two crouched lions, as well as an elaborately decorated Baroque high altar inlaid with marble. Also housed within the building is the oldest working organ in France, which was donated by Louis XI in the 15th century.

A short walk from the Notre-Dame-du-Real is Brune Tower, a former keep that dates back to the 13th century. Today, it houses an information centre for Ecrins National Park, including exhibits about the formation of the Alps and how humans have interacted with the region’s mountainous landscapes over the centuries. Also nearby is the Jardin de Archeveche, which offers spectacular views across the surrounding countryside.

Extending south-west of Embrun is Lac de Serre-Ponçon, a large reservoir that’s fed by waters from the Durance and Ubaye rivers. It’s an idyllic setting for water-based activities, including swimming, kayaking and sailing. You can cast a fishing line to see what’s biting or visit the island-based Chapelle Saint-Michel.

Getting around Embrun

Embrun is around 2.5 hours’ drive from both Grenoble and Marseille. Marseille Provence Airport is also 2.5 hours away and has flights to destinations across Europe and North Africa. Regular trains connect to the Embrun railway station and the town is small enough to explore on foot.
