The hilltop position explains why the site mattered before any historical display does. As you move through towers and walls, the stories tied to the Plantagenets and Joan of Arc gain a physical setting. This is a broad outdoor monument, so its scale is part of the experience.
What to look for
Use its towers and ramparts to understand the Plantagenet and Joan of Arc stories.
Useful to know
Set aside time to move along the fortress rather than stopping at one tower.
