Le fort de Galle est l'une des fortifications coloniales les mieux conserv\u00e9es d'Asie. Construit par les Portugais, agrandi par les Hollandais au XVIIe si\u00e8cle, il est toujours habit\u00e9 et non pas un mus\u00e9e. C'est un site historique rare qui se pr\u00eate aussi bien \u00e0 une escale d'une demi-journ\u00e9e qu'\u00e0 une nuit\u00e9e tranquille.<\/p>\n

Marcher sur les remparts<\/h2>\n

Les remparts encerclent toute la vieille ville, sur environ 3 km, et la promenade dure environ une heure \u00e0 un rythme tranquille. Le coucher de soleil depuis les remparts sud, pr\u00e8s du phare, est un moment inoubliable\u00a0; arrivez une demi-heure \u00e0 l\u2019avance pour trouver une bonne place avant que l\u2019endroit ne soit pris d\u2019assaut.<\/p>\n

\u00c0 l'int\u00e9rieur des murs du fort<\/h2>\n

Les rues de la ville m\u00ealent architecture coloniale n\u00e9erlandaise, h\u00f4tels de charme am\u00e9nag\u00e9s dans d'anciennes maisons de marchands, boutiques ind\u00e9pendantes et quelques-uns des meilleurs caf\u00e9s de la c\u00f4te sud. On s'y r\u00e9gale davantage en fl\u00e2nant sans itin\u00e9raire pr\u00e9cis qu'en cochant une liste de sites \u00e0 visiter.<\/p>\n

Le phare et le cousin plus \u00e2g\u00e9 de Fort Frederick<\/h2>\n

Le phare situ\u00e9 \u00e0 l'extr\u00e9mit\u00e9 sud du fort ne s'ouvre pas, mais la promenade jusqu'\u00e0 lui le long des remparts vaut le d\u00e9tour. \u00c0 proximit\u00e9, l'ancienne \u00e9glise r\u00e9form\u00e9e n\u00e9erlandaise et le mus\u00e9e maritime offrent un aper\u00e7u plus paisible et moins touristique de l'histoire du fort.<\/p>\n

Au-del\u00e0 du fort<\/h2>\n

La plage d'Unawatuna est \u00e0 dix minutes en tuk-tuk si vous souhaitez allier sable et histoire, et c'est une combinaison facile pour une excursion d'une journ\u00e9e ou une \u00e9tape d'une nuit.<\/p>\n

Comment s'y rendre<\/h2>\n

Galle se trouve \u00e0 environ 2 \u00e0 2,5 heures de Colombo par l'autoroute du sud, ce qui en fait une \u00e9tape facile \u00e0 ajouter plut\u00f4t qu'un d\u00e9tour pour la plupart des itin\u00e9raires de la c\u00f4te sud.<\/p>\n

L\u00e0 o\u00f9 \u00e7a s'int\u00e8gre<\/h2>\n
