Definitely worth checking out if you're in the area. Quiet, hidden but immensely imposing fortifications perching on a rock looking over the valley(s), this location has a historical span from deep into prehistory up until the late middle ages. Even though there is such an abundance of ruins and rocks to look at, it feels almost like you are the first to discover it. Not at all frequented that much. The secret stairs are REALLY steep, and there is no handrail. Great walk, hard on the calves though, if your scared of heights, you're going to have to be brave 🙃 Very nice views and worth the hike to the top and the steep secret staris downhill Too bad that you have to pay to enter as there is not much added value. €6 = Adult €5 = Child/Student (10-25years) Free = Child <10 years History and nature with few crowds If you enjoy some history and a great view, this is not to be missed. The “secret” back stairs down are steep and I’d be nervous taking a child down them but are worth the stress of climbing down. The little historical markers with descriptions add all the flavour you’ll need to whet your imagination 💭! I found myself constantly thinking about what the mountaintop fort must have looked like in medieval times and before when it was inhabited in prehistory. The setting of this fort is just spectacular, gorgeous and huge rocks. If you like rocks you gotta go. On top of that, put yourself in the history of this fort and the people who were there before us, including going back to the stone age. I was blown away. The climbing through the fort was steep and I wished I hadn't done an earlier hike. The secret stairs at the end not to be taken lightly. Fort Buoux is stunning. The area is wide, there is so much to see. It was a hot day and we almost didn't want to enter, but we would have missed so many interesting and unforgettable views. Highly recommend, well worth the climb!
