Steep stairs, wear comfy shoes
City garden at the base, nice for a stroll
Arrive early to beat group tours
Climb a thousand years of history at this 10th-century fortress, where thick stone walls and strategic loopholes frame sweeping views over Chaumont. The Counts of Champagne once ruled from here, and the medieval architecture still whispers of sieges, alliances, and court intrigue.
