Just a step away from the cathedral, the castrale clod is one of the founding elements of the city. Edifiée in the Xth century, she(it) protected the collegiate of possible attackers. In 1761, a military prison is raised(brought up) there. Discover this perfectly kept(preserved) site, which has just benefited from a blitz of restoration(catering). Of the summit of the clod, an exceptional panorama opens on the cathedral or else on the chapel of the Jesuits.
