THE CASTLE SITE
Go there and contact
All that remains of the medieval fort is the large moat and two levels of underground galleries.
Whether obliterated or hidden, the remains still need to be deciphered. In Celto-Ligurian times, it was the ideal site for an oppidum, then in the Middle Ages for a castrum, and finally for a stronghold until the 17thcentury (dismantled by Louis XIV), when it became nothing more than a stone quarry after being set on fire by the revolutionaries in 1792. The troubles continued in the 19th century: far from being restored, the château was instead dismantled stone by stone. All that remained of the medieval fort was the large moat and two levels of underground galleries.
