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.

take your time to admire the landscape

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

So much fun

The visit is worthwhile. You get a card with explanations in your native language and can read it during the tour. Rooms and figures are lovingly designed.

We tried to complete the 2h23 and 7.23km tour. The first part to the fort was nice but at the end of the tour, the path is impassable and marked as "Danger. forbidden to the public". There is a ravine and rock falls. This last part is very narrow and dangerous. The hike is also poorly marked. We lose the markings and part of the path is with a private individual so we had to find another path. We do not recommend this tour.
