See
The town is surrounded by a double line of ramparts. The first, the most ancient, protected the priory, the church and the fort, the second established in the XVth century, encircled the commercial part.
Still today, its maze of narrow cobbled streets are a must to explore, and makes Saint-Benoit-du-Sault a beautiful medieval town.
