| Bitche Citadelle |
We'd attempted to go to the Citadelle of Bitche (in France) back in February but it was still closed for the winter back then. Today we finally got around to heading back over there to check it out. It was definitely more interesting than I thought it would be. Colin wasn't quite as interested in touring the castle as the rest of us so I volunteered for monster duty and everyone else got to listen to the audio guide and explore the castle uninterrupted. What little bit I did catch of my audio tour was rather interesting though. Dating back to 1297 the Citadelle was widely known to be impenetrable because of sophisticated (for the time) architecture. I'd share a link but they only offer website viewing in French or German, so if you can read one of the two and you really want to know more about it, google La Citadelle de Bitche and knock yourself out. We live very close to France and this is only about 30 minutes from us so we'll have to go back over there one day without Colin so we can really take it all in.
