Pretty Obvious Why a Town Grew Here

Our in-car GPS indicated we were nearing our first village on our list: Sainte-Suzanne. We were powering-up my dashboard Garmin for just a few minutes at a time in order to see the extensive itinerary I had drawn-up in advance. By doing that we could note exactly where we needed to go next and program that into the in-car unit that was functioning properly. Coming around the bend from a lackluster half farm/half industrial town we saw this promontory ahead of us. In an area of flat farmland the town of Sainte-Suzanne rose high on an easily defendable hilltop. No doubt the local baron took this land for his castle while his serfs labored in the fields below.
