An interesting visit. The climb is steep to access the ruins, but short, therefore rather accessible. The village is very pretty and the 360 ​​view from the keep is superb.

Simple to access, be careful it's a good climb and you preferably need suitable shoes. Magnificent view of the top of the keep. (free) parking also

Accessible in 10-15 minutes from Bramevaque. A little steep at first, stroller to avoid. Nice little castle, you can climb to the top, free, hardly see anyone in July.

Quiet, beautiful views and a 2.5km forest trail to Mauleon Barousse. We parked in Bramevaque village, explored the chateau and then walked to Mauleon Barousse for a cold beer.

Clementinum

The Clementinum is a historic complex of buildings in Prague. Until recently the complex hosted the National, University and Technical libraries, the City Library also being located nearby on Mariánské Náměstí. The Technical library and the Municipal library have moved to the Prague National Technical Library at Technická 6 since 2009. It is currently in use as the National Library of the Czech Republic.

Its history dates from the existence of a chapel dedicated to Saint Clement in the 11th century. A Dominican monastery was founded in the medieval period, which was transformed in 1556 to a Jesuit college. In 1622 the Jesuits transferred the library of Charles University to the Klementinum, and the college was merged with the University in 1654. The Jesuits remained until 1773, when the Klementinum was established as an observatory, library, and university by the Empress Maria Theresa of Austria.
