Looking for an escape and history? You're in for a treat! You've found the right place! Nothing is more surprising than finding yourself underground in the only underground passage in the Tarn that can be visited and letting yourself be carried away by the guided tour in costume!
It dates back to the Middle Ages, from the old 142th century fortress of Sicard Alaman, only a few sections of walls remain. But the story takes place below, in the underground of the Castella. XNUMX metres long, perfectly preserved, it mainly includes facilities that are not seen anywhere else under castles: living rooms, grain silos, water points, lamp niches, etc.
