Path just above the Thouet with some steps

Picturesque walk: Strolling along the bridge at the foot of the walls, with the tranquil waters of the Thouet River and the reflections of the arches, is a moment of pure bliss. Historical immersion: Walk in the footsteps of medieval pilgrims, protected by this powerful military structure, all in a still-authentic setting. Iconic photo: The view from the bridge—or from the banks slightly downstream—offers a perfect frame to capture the gate and its towers reflected in the river.

The fortified Saint-Jacques bridge (or “citadel bridge”) in Parthenay is a masterpiece of medieval architecture, bordered by its high walls and almond-shaped towers, offering an exceptional setting when the Thouet is reflected in the water.

Things to See & Do Ramparts: With approximately 30 semicircular towers, the granite walls symbolize medieval urban robustness. Ruined Castle: All that remains of the castle is a round tower (perhaps the keep) and sections of walls restored since the 1980s. Panoramic Walk: The rampart path offers splendid views of the Thouet Valley and the Saint-Paul district.

History & Architecture Medieval Construction: Built in the early 13th century under the aegis of John Lackland, the citadel rests on a natural promontory reinforced by three defensive walls, towers, and ramparts. Castle and Bastion: Its original, isolated castle included towers such as the Powder Tower and the Harcourt Tower. In the 15th century, Arthur de Richemont added the bastille and an artillery boulevard. Citadel Gate (or Clock Gate): The gatehouse is flanked by two almond-shaped towers and topped with a clock tower. A granite staircase provides access to the guardroom and the patrol path.

The citadel of Parthenay, nicknamed the "little Carcassonne of the West", is one of the city's heritage jewels, perched on a rocky spur overlooking the bend of the Thouet River.

If you feel safe inside the citadel, you will be equally impressed by the view from the outside. It looks impregnable and probably was hundreds of years ago.

With its fortified arched tower, this bridge is worth a detour along the river to admire it.
