This ancient trading town, the capital of Conflent, has preserved some beautiful traces of its history and its status as a defensive town. Examples include the ramparts and the Viguerie Tower, built by the Count of Cerdagne in the 11th century and subsequently reinforced by Vauban's fortifications in the 17th century.

Villefranche-de-Conflent is a town with an exceptional heritage: from the Middle Ages to the present day, time has left in its stones the marks of the men who built, conquered, or lived there. More than any other, Vauban, the "wanderer of the Sun King," has left his mark here.

mountain pass or hill located in the Conflent region, in the Eastern Pyrenees (France).

really a beautiful place, rightly counts among the listed beautiful villages

Very beautiful fortress. A (guided) tour is recommended, especially in the evening with a lantern. Inside the fortress there are many lovely shops with regional products and of course restaurants where you can enjoy good food.

Easy access from Réal via the DFCI, many trails to follow once the pass is reached. An excellent start to the outing

It is a simply spectacular port that unites the regions of Conflent and Capcir. It is one of the most beautiful ports in the easternmost Pyrenees. It is very close to the Col de la Llosa, and you can take a circular route that is known as the "Route des Cols". It is also indicated on nearby road signs. The hardest slope is the one that begins in Olette (Conflent) and goes up through Aiguatèbia. There are almost 22 km of ascent and 1,089 meters of elevation gain. It has 3 very different zones: (1) the first is a constant 5 km at 7%; (2) the second is 10 km at 4% and with some very pleasant rest areas, with beautiful views; (3) The final part is 6 km on average at 7%, since it passes the town of Railleu, although the hard part is the last 3 km, with several ramps that exceed 10%. The road is narrow and has uneven asphalt, with hardly any cars and motorcycles. For me, the final part of this port is truly spectacular and should not be missed. The west slope begins in the town of Matamala (Capcir) and is 3 km with an average of close to 8%. It is a long irregular stretch along a narrow and very quiet road, with panoramic views of the valley when the thick black pine forest gives some opportunity.
