A citadel overlooking the beautiful city of Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port, where we find the paved ramp, the monumental arch, the drawbridge

Built on the site of the former fortified castle of the kings of Navarre, it dominates the walled city with its superb view. Built in the 17th century during the Wars of Religion and the Franco-Spanish conflicts, it was then redesigned by Vauban, who improved the defensive system and the fortification of the entire city. Today, we find the paved ramp, the monumental arch, the drawbridge... A grandiose panorama and a fitness trail complete the journey.

L'authenticité d'une cité médiévale au coeur du Pays Basque
à St Jean Pied de Port, on ne manquera pas de se promener dans le cœur historique de la Citadelle construite dans les années 1620 et d'apprécier le point de vue sur la vallée de la Nive et les montagnes environnantes. A noter que la porte St Jacques est classée au Patrimoine mondial de l'Humanité. C'est par elle que vous passerez si vous faites l'étape du Chemin de Compostelle jusqu'à Roncevaux.

Cette magnifique citadelle où j'ai passé des journées extraordinaires lors de colonies de vacances mémorables mais qui n'avait pas été mise en valeur. Ce qui a été effectué depuis et où un CES à remplacé la colonie de vacances. On peut néanmoins admirer les fortifications conçues par Vauban.
