An opportunity to get a feel for the history of the region. You wander the site freely guided by a leaflet and there are signs to read if you want to. The fort is generally bare but the building itself is in good condition so the audio speaker adds to the experience allowing you to mentally fill in the details of how it must have been bustling in use use over the centuries. There is also the views as you wander around, you can take in the many vistas from the high points of the fort down the valley. There were some exhibitions of history and photography to look at and take in. There were also some exhibitions with manikins that looked like they has had better days. A good place to spend an hour or two while in the area while touring around.

An amazing castle on top of a hill, partly medieval and partly made by Vauban. The visit takes about one hour, there are explanatory panels in French, English and Italian and arrows guiding you from one place to another. Very beautiful and very interesting. Ideal if you travel with children who also find dedicated panels.... Absolutely not to miss if you're in the area.z
