Philippe VI de Valois

Philippe VI de Valois ,King of France ,ordered (1342) the construction of the Revel city ...

At that moment the villages were at the top of hills since centuries...with ramparts to defend...

On the map you can notice Revel was a new town and the circle avenue was the ramparts.
The city was built on the plain amid the forest...

This area was very dangerous and the city was to secure the plain.

I blip a lot of pictures around the market every Saturday...you know now this beautiful small town ...
