Helpfulness
Taking a car in to the old town is possible but finding a parking place can be very difficult and quite expensive.
There are only about 3 designated car parks within the Ramparts - the biggest is in Place du Guesclin (except on Market Day).
You can't mistake the Place it is bordered by elegant 18th century houses and a few hotels , and dominated by a huge statue if Bertrand du Guesclin on horseback. It was du Guesclin who defeated the treacherous Duke of Canterbury in 1357.
FREE PARKING
We discovered that between 12 noon and 2pm parking is free - you need to be ready to take a place vacated by morning shoppers or workers going home for lunch, but that 2 hour slot was enough for a little shopping, a lunchtime snack and people watching, and a short wander through the lanes.
