The historic organ of the Collégiale Notre-Dame de Briançon (Vetter & Galligari, 1776), located in the heart of the fortified town listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, bears witness to the town's rich religious and military past.
The Association des Amis de l'Orgue de la Collégiale (Friends of the Collegiate Church Organ Association) works actively to preserve and promote this instrument, in particular through its well-attended musical events outside church services.
