Navigating the narrow, winding cobblestone streets of the citadel at dawn feels like stepping back into the Middle Ages. Half-timbered stone houses with steeply pitched slate roofs crowd the path, their small, square-paned windows reflecting the cool coastal sky. Gulls wheel overhead, their cries echoing off the ancient ramparts that once successfully repelled English forces during the Hundred Years' War.
