  • This is one of the best place we have visited in south of France. Citadelle is beautiful. And the view from the top is mesmerising. 🏞️🏰🏞️🏰🏞️
  • Magnificent panoramic views from the top. Climb is moderate but worth it. Audio points are there in multiple languages to let you know about the history. Great experience 👍
