LaTranchée des Anglais

Looking up and down La Tranchée des Anglais. I stopped to take these photos.

The English gained control over the Angles sur L''Anglin chateau in the Middle Ages when Guichard Angles abandoned it and King John Maupertuis (this might be incorrect) was defeated. The English, at night, widened a natural fissure, surprised the guards to overthrow the enemy!  In 1372 Du Guesclin used this passageway. 
Never mind history. Be your own soldier and run up and down the steep steps! It's good exercise!
