Somewhere hidden behind or around the castle but I'm damned if I can be more specific is a hilarious and unadvertised museum of handmade miniature objects. Some loony hirsute Russian chappie made them and they include a tiny foil choo-choo mounted on a hair, a horseshoe and locket attached to a flea, a picture of Jesus on a seasme seed, and a 3-D model of the Tour Eiffel on a bisected cherry stone. Among other delights. You amble around peering through magnifiers and are quite simply left agog. There was noone else in there at all the day I went (high season, the old town was thick with tourists) and it does not seem to feature on any of the brochures. Perhaps I'm making it up. But, I'm not. Sorry this is so vague, but I thought it worth posting even so, as in retrospect it was a true highlight.
