The historical fortress is of amazing beauty. It is very large, but now the restored walls remain only in the castle on the hill, and only fragments remain on the territory of the city. The entrance to the fortress itself is free and you can enter from different sides, go in and see the beautiful cathedral and walk along the picturesque streets. But climbing the wall and entering the Chateau Comtal is already paid. The route starts from the ticket office. I recommend walking around the fortress wall, as there are wonderful panoramas of the surroundings, the city and the towers. But also walking along the wall from below, you can see the power of medieval walls and take a lot of cool photos.

One of the largest medieval fortresses preserved in excellent condition and maintained in this condition. In January, the evening was sparsely populated, which made Gothic gargoyles and soaring flocks of ravens create a feeling of superstitious fear.
