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.

The fort was built in 1681 on a rocky spur on the mountainside. It guarded the Têt Valley and, together with the ramparts of Villefranche, formed a formidable defensive complex. It stood 180 meters above the Têt, on the summit of Belloch Mountain, like a king. In peacetime, the fort could accommodate 50 to 100 garrison members.

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

take your time to admire the landscape

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.

Sublime viewpoint over the Conflent and the Canigó massif. Towards the south, it is the high erosion surfaces which crown the village of Mantet which are revealed and tell a recent geological history: that of the flattening of the first Pyrenees and the regional uplift which brings a vast plain to altitude. Today, only scraps of plain remain dissected by the valleys: the plas de Campmagre at Pla Guillem.

Away from the tourist race mile, there are sheltered rest areas in Mauerbögem and under shady trees
