Beautiful running route along the historic fortress wall.

This gate owes its name to the old mills located outside the fortifications to harness the wind (the "Bel'air," which gave the square its name). It is part of the bastion fortifications built south of the city walls between 1642 and 1647.

The Porte des Moulins is one of the impressive city gates and dates back to the 17th century. It was once the main entrance to the fortified city and is now a listed monument. The fortifications stretch over 3.5 kilometers with seven gates and twelve towers. From the city walls, you can enjoy spectacular panoramic views of the region.

The Tour des Remparts (~3.5 km) is great for a run, because it is perfectly serviced, almost car-free all the way, and constantly offers a beautiful view. It is mainly tarmac or cement, generally very flat with a few short steep sections.

This Louis XIII-style gate (1647) has retained its military character. It has a dome with chestnut shingles and is decorated with an allegory of the French victories at the end of the Thirty Years' War.

Located at the crossroads of several roads, this large washhouse retains its washing basin. Its two gable walls have large openings to ventilate and light the interior and reveal its metal structure.

Melay town hall. In front of the town hall is the memorial stele for the victims of the world wars.
