a great building - it looks like the town hall is located right in the castle.

Unfortunately, there is no cycle path along the canal here yet. The path to the left before the bridge is a dead end.

This route was suggested in Komoot as a cycle path along the canal - but it is a dead end after the next lock.

There are several more "works of art" in the garden. As I was photographing it, the owner (a very nice man) came over and we had a good chat. He actually built the house (not photographed) himself.

The ramparts

Built on a hillock, the Coucy castle offers beautiful views of the surrounding countryside.

Last part of the path to the stone fort, quite rolling

This medieval gate, built in the 13th century, was part of the impressive fortifications of Coucy-le-Château, a town once famous for its castle and its motto: "I am neither king, nor prince, nor count, I am the lord of Coucy ". The Porte de Laon is a massive structure with two round towers and an arched passage, defended by a drawbridge, a double portcullis and a barbican. You can admire the architecture and military devices of this ancient bastion, as well as the panoramic view of the city and the surrounding countryside.
