Beautiful medieval town and castle.

I visited there in the early 90s, and didn't see the Giger museum, but when
I was there the castle was hosting an exhibition of Patrick Woodroffe's
art, which can sometimes give Giger's a run for the money! Odd that such
a 'quaint'-seeming place has such an affinity for the bizarre.
