Fodor's Expert Review Rue de la Citadelle

St-Jean-Pied-de-Port Street

Several sights of interest line Rue de la Citadelle, including the Maison Arcanzola (Arcanzola House) at No. 32 (1510), the Maison des Évêques (Bishops' House) at No. 39, and the famous Prison des Évêques (Bishops' Prison) next door to it. Continuing up you'll reach the Citadelle itself—a classic Vauban fortress built between 1625 and 1627, now occupied by a school. The views from the top, complete with maps identifying the surrounding heights and valleys, are panoramic.
