As a day trip, it’s hard to beat – just 80 minutes by train from Paris, with a multitude of sights to visit, including evening spectaculars that plunge the visitor back into the Middle Ages. The town is the upper part, capped by the 12th-century Saint-Quiriace Collegiate Church and Caesar’s Tower and ringed partially by 5km of towering ramparts. Trains run hourly from Paris Est.
On Saturday afternoons, partake in an medieval lunch feast ( recreating a meal of those times) inside 12th Century Vaulted Cellar and to make it even more fun, rent a costume at the lunch event.
