A medieval hilltop town dating from the 13th century. A large section of walls still remain and many half timbered houses overhanging the streets below - they were taxed on the ground floor area. Saw an example of "any man's tombstone" from the 100 Years war - just add a head for a quick and easy burial. Walked 2 km along the river to the nearby village of Lehon with a 9th century abbey and cloister garden.
