Veterans Rampart Crémieu, Medieval city wall in Crémieu, France.
The Veterans Rampart extends along the perimeter of Crémieu, featuring thick stone walls and defensive towers that rise above the landscape.
Built in the 13th century under the direction of Grenoble's bishop, this fortification protected the town through numerous conflicts and transformations.
The rampart represents medieval military engineering techniques and demonstrates the architectural practices common in French defensive structures.
Visitors can access the rampart daily without entrance fees, with parking facilities available at the base of Saint-Hippolyte Mountain.
The structure contains seven distinct levels built in a pyramid formation, incorporating four watchtowers and an original drawbridge mechanism.
