This viewpoint allows us to understand the builders' choice: the castle dominates the confluence of the Tarn and the Alrance, where travelers, goods, and herds passed. The Pont Vieux, built in the 14th century, completed this natural bottleneck. Here, the landscape alone tells of several centuries of medieval strategy.
