Rue Foulques Nerra: the Citadel’s narrow pathway through time.

Winding its way through the medieval citadel of Loches, Rue Foulques Nerra is a steep, narrow street that leads back toward the commanding Porte Royale. Named after the fearsome 11th-century Count of Anjou—Foulques Nerra, or "Fulk the Black", this stone-lined lane feels like a passage straight through history. As you glance up at the looming fortress walls, you can almost hear the echo of armored boots and whispered secrets from centuries past. Today it’s a quiet route rich in the atmosphere of feudal France.
