Pedestrian medieval city perched on a rocky outcrop! Above all, go up there and don't miss the incredible atmosphere of this village: fortified gates, ramparts, Gothic facades and small artisan shops.

Gorgeous! But surprising to attack at the beginning of the hike the steep streets full of people on mountain bikes!
