As a kid I spend a number of years in Calais, close to the Citadel (we used to call it Fort Vauban as well). Having only a very small garden it kind of became our playground. We used to take our bicycles and improvise some course on the ramparts, some of them being claimed by the grass nowadays. I laugh when I see people taking stairways on a full suspension bicycle, I used to do that on an old steel "randonneuse" with small 650c wheels. It also hosted a track and field + additionnal grass-hockey field where we would have our sports classes in primary and secondary school.
