A very tranquil location with amazing views of the valley. Unfortunately the chateau ruin itself is fenced off but there's space for a picnic

Perfect drone spot. Good training grounds.

Nice picnic spot near a deserted castle. The castle itself is blocked off but views are very pretty. Near the Nieaux cave which is highly recommended

Worth it just for the views down the valley and the mountain peaks, good spot for a snack in the peace and quiet.

Walls of Constantinople

The Walls of Constantinople are a series of defensive stone walls that have surrounded and protected the city of Constantinople (today Istanbul) since its founding as the new capital of the Roman Empire by Constantine the Great. With numerous additions and modifications during their history, they were the last great fortification system of antiquity, and one of the most complex and elaborate systems ever built. They were also the largest and strongest fortification in both the ancient and medieval world.

Initially built by Constantine the Great, the walls surrounded the new city on all sides, protecting it against attack from both sea and land. As the city grew, the famous double line of the Theodosian Walls was built in the 5th century. Although the other sections of the walls were less elaborate, they were, when well-manned, almost impregnable for any medieval besieger.
