This summit houses a chapel, but it was previously a strong defensive position. From the Arab invasions in 730 to the successive Norman and Hungarian invasions, this stronghold has resisted. It was not until 1180 that the fortress fell into the hands of King Philippe Auguste, who destroyed it but spared the chapel. The summit offers magnificent views.
