点评:Having read the Tripadvisor reviews focusing on the demands of the ascent, we embarked on our walk with some trepidation.
We are in our 60's and sometimes walk. We do not climb, we do not hike. We walk. We do not walk long distances and we do not walk frequently.
From the signs, which appear near the train station, that state it's 20 mins to the fort, it took us 22 mins at a slow and steady pace, up steps and a stony path to the entrance to the fort. Note, this is the entrance and further walking is required if further exploration is a desire.
On arrival at the fort, we paid the €7 entrance fee and explored the very interesting fort. There are lots of steps, up and down, inside and around the fort which take visitors on a thorough, self guided tour of everything you could possibly want to see. In addition of course, there are the spectacular views of the mountains and Villefranche le Conflent.
Note that the mannequins are worth the walk alone. Either they were purchased from an old music exhibition or there's a curator with a wicked sense of humour, but the air guitar playing mannequin alongside the keyboard playing mannequin and vocalist made, not only us, but a couple of other English visitors laugh aloud.
Meanwhile, I shsll pat myself on my back as a fellow contributor states that to walk the ascent in 20 minutes, the person must be extremely fit - so 22 mins isn't too shabby.
Don't be put off, it's fine to take time. There's a cafe with plenty of seats within the walls of the fort so, if the ascent is enough, you don't have to go any further. If the thought of the descent is too much, there's a small bus to do the return journey.
翻译:在阅读了 Tripadvisor 上关于攀登要求的评论后,我们有些忐忑地开始了我们的徒步之旅。
我们 60 多岁了,有时会走路。我们不爬山,也不徒步。我们走路。我们不走很远的距离,也不经常走路。
从火车站附近的标志来看,到堡垒需要 20 分钟,我们花了 22 分钟缓慢而稳定地走上台阶和一条石路,到达堡垒的入口。请注意,这是入口,如果想进一步探索,则需要进一步步行。
抵达堡垒后,我们支付了 7 欧元的入场费,探索了这座非常有趣的堡垒。堡垒内部和周围有很多上下台阶,游客可以进行一次全面的自助游览,参观您可能想看的一切。此外,当然还有山脉和 Villefranche le Conflent 的壮丽景色。
请注意,这些人体模型本身就值得走一走。它们要么是从旧音乐展览上买来的,要么是馆长有邪恶的幽默感,但弹奏空气吉他的人体模型与弹奏键盘的人体模型和歌手一起,不仅让我们,而且让其他几位英国游客大笑。
与此同时,我应该为自己感到自豪,因为一位同行评论员说,要花 20 分钟走完上山路,这个人必须非常健康 - 所以 22 分钟并不算太糟糕。
不要气馁,花点时间也没关系。堡垒的城墙内有一家咖啡馆,有很多座位,所以,如果爬山已经够了,你就不必再往前走了。如果下山的想法太过分,有一辆小巴士可以送你回程。
