Everything Else

Big daily flea market (mornings) - best to go during the week for the better deals, and be prepared to bargain prices down.

Lots of bars, coffee places and restaurants on this square - also down the little cobbled streets just nearby (rue de la forg, rue du moskou). Wonderful to hang out on a terrace with a beer in summer.

This slightly random-seeming tower used to be part of the old wall surrounding the city. It's been very well restored and hosts a museum with some impressive suits of armor and weapons.
