Excellent. All countries have heritage, the castle is an example of how it should be nurtured and invested in. It shows also how you really don't want the USAAF to have a say in your town planning. Of note, just opposite is the ugliest Mairie* I've ever seen in France, courtesy of post aerial bombardement reconstruction I'm sure. (*Not to be confused with the ugliest Marie in France, who is the moustachioed mother of my third wife.)

This review is for the medieval festival that's held in the castle grounds. Whilst the castle and grounds are lovely, the festival was a bit of a let down. There's not really much going on: some stalls, a few people dressed in medieval clothing and some sort of town crier doing battle with a faulty PA system. In previous years they held jousting in horseback, but that seems to have gone. The highlights this year were two guys herding a flock of geese and some live music.

In the castle there are just two rooms that also serve as an exhibition space for artists. There is no entrance fee, parking is possible on the street by the walls and in the city. Shops in the city were closed on Monday, except for the pharmacy.

We were amazed this was a free entrance. Even though there is not much to do, this is an impressive castle and well worth a short visit. Guided tours at 15h most days in high season.

Majestic castle, but seems that very few people know it, so you can enjoy the peaceful view here.
