CASTLE WALLS

The birthplace of the city is where the municipal museum is currently located. This space was inhabited during the Celtic period. The Romans built on this defensive position a fortified camp. The city grew and a citadel was developed, which formed the draft of the future castle. In the xiith century, buildings surrounded him and the ensemble was protected by high walls whose route followed the streets of La Pêcherie, Saint Epoing, the Audience and the Gué-de-la-Loge. Charles VI then allowed new fortifications as early as 1401.
