At the end of the promenade you can climb the hundred steps of the belveved. This metal observatory was set up at the top of the artificial butte of 130 m high where, once, Grosse Tour du château - 10 m tall and 15 m in diameter - dominated the Aisne Valley in the xie century. The Aisne Valley will take place before your eyes. You will be able to observe the landscape surrounding the city about 10 km from the city and discover the remarkable sights and monuments. Next to it, take the last pans of Mazarin Castle: two brick and stone porches.
