The Signal de Sauvabelin also offers a beautiful view of the city and the surrounding area. In the Middle Ages, guards were posted here day and night, kept watch and warned the population of enemy attacks ... a pile of wood was always ready for this, which was set on fire when the alarm was triggered.

The view is beautiful, the nearby restaurant is not praised by the locals, so take something with you for a picnic.
