We didn't know what to expect of the Citadel, having gone on a bit of a whim on a wet day of what was mostly a walking holiday. We arrived mid-afternoon and thought we'd just walk round the ramparts and head home... when we saw it was a paid attraction we almost didn't bother... what a mistake that would have been! We also almost refused the headphones, but the man at the ticket office looked so disappointed and explained that we wouldn't be able to listen to the film soundtrack without them so we relented... and what a good thing we did. The siege of Bitche is an amazing part of French history - not one I knew anything about - but the way that the story is told by use of a film that plays on screens dotted around the underground tunnels and rooms of the citadel really does help bring it to life. I suspect it's much better on a quiet afternoon than it would be with loads of tourists or school kids. Frankly it's a must-see attraction of national importance and with an appropriate high quality interpretation. In better weather it would have been good to spend longer exploring the ramparts and the grounds.

This is a wonderful ruin that dates from the 12th century. It’s even worth going out of your way for, especially if you have a nice sky for photos like we did. The chateau and grounds are well cared for. It’s reached by a paved road, there’s a parking lot next to it, and it’s always open. From the top is a scenic panorama of the town below and a canal with lots of boats.
