We're not talking about a simple mountain village, but a true urban center that, thanks to its elevated position, enjoyed a reputation for centuries as a healthy place where the pure air was used to treat respiratory ailments, long before the advent of modern tourism. Walking along the main street of the fortified city, you'll surely notice the Grande Gargouille, a small water channel that flows right through the middle of the paved street. This hydraulic system isn't just decorative; it was designed in the Middle Ages with a vital function: to ensure a constantly available water supply in the event of a fire, since houses at the time were mostly built of wood. Today, that murmur of water is the constant soundtrack of the historic center. If you look up at the surrounding mountains, you'll understand why the military engineer Vauban has become a legend, given that the fortifications surrounding the city have been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The defensive system is so complex and ingenious that it connects the citadel to various isolated forts on the surrounding peaks, creating a stone belt that for centuries made this border practically impassable for any enemy army.
