Coucy Castle is a magnificent castle built in the 13th century by Enguerrand III, Lord of Coucy. It was one of the largest and most impressive castles in Europe, with a massive keep and four towers dominating the landscape. The castle was partially destroyed during the First World War, but its ruins still bear witness to its past glory. You can discover the castle and its history by participating in the Trail Enguerrand, a running race that takes you around the castle and its surroundings. The race is 30 km long, with 700 m of altitude difference, and it offers breathtaking views of the castle and the countryside. You can also opt for a shorter distance of 15 km, with 370 m of elevation gain. The race takes place in April and you can register online on the official website. By hiking this trail, you will not only get a good workout, but also a cultural and historical experience.

Nice town center in the middle of the old fortified walls of the city.

Superb castle that deserves the climb. Do not hesitate to walk around and inside (market and shops).

The Coucy dungeon no longer exists but a model of it is located at the entrance to the town.

Pretty ruins of the Château de Coucy, impressive from afar and from close up.

Nice walk around the ramparts of Coucy le Château.
