Named Castle Hill in French, the ancient Greeks first chose to settle on this site several millennia ago.
The castle was built in Medieval times but was taken down completely at the command of Louis XIV in 1706. A park was created here in 1829 and has since been expanded to produce a great space for all the family, wth paths, children's play areas, toilets, restaurants and gift shops. It's a popular spot for visitors and locals alike.
It is easily accessible from the old town via a lift (or steps if you'd like to enjoy a picturesque walk). The views from the top are wonderful.
