Practical tips : to get to Cité Vauban, use the free car parks at the bottom of the town, in the Parc des Sports, near Parc de la Schappe and opposite the media library, as the car parks in Cité Vauban quickly become overcrowded. To get to the cité Vauban, you can walk if you wish, or take the bus network until 7pm, at the usual fares.
