Fort Vauban d'Alès is a symbol of defensive architecture and the conflict between Catholics and Protestants.

Built in the 17th century on the orders of Louis XIV, the Vauban fortress, citadel of Alès, is a testimony to the defensive architecture of the French kingdom under the absolute monarchy. It is also a symbol of the conflict between Catholics and Protestants. Built on a hilltop, it has the unique feature of forming a U-shape. Discover this monument, which was once a prison for Protestants, and stroll through the Bosquet gardens, which were laid out around it in the 18th century. The tourist office organizes guided tours in July and August.

Belle architecture en rénovations encore
A l'occasion d'un weekend familial dans la région, nous avons apprécié cette citadelle et les ruelles tortueuses de cette ville médiévale, en se laissant se perdre au détour des vielles pierres !! Magique

Fort intéressant à voir à condition de bien connaître l'histoire détaillée avant (pas assez détaillée sur le dépliant par rapport à ce qu'on peut trouver sur internet). Il mériterait aussi une meilleure conservation. A pénétrer de toute façon car c'est un monument incontournable de l'histoire alèsienne.

Beautiful works where it is pleasant to walk, overlooking the town of Ales. The fort is currently undergoing renovations.
