Big bang from the village to the entrance to the castle gate. Unfortunately I'm not sure that the end of the climb is still possible. They recently put up a building at the car park.

Gros pétard depuis le bourg jusqu'à l'entrée de la porte du château . Malheureusement je ne suis pas sûr que la fin de la montée puisse encore se faire . Récemment ils ont construit un bâtiment au niveau du parking
