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.

The village's history is rooted in its castle, mentioned as early as the 11th century. Thanks to its fortified position, Joch was recognized for six centuries as the capital of the "Barony," a territory occupying the entire plain. Today, only ruins remain of the castle. Only two medieval gates are still visible to the north and west, and the remains of the old chapel have been converted into a house. The church, dating from 1776, and its listed altarpieces enrich Joch's heritage, as does the 17th-century painted ceiling, uncovered in the former presbytery during its restoration. In addition to the built heritage, there is also the vernacular, which bears witness to an entire ancestral way of life.

Standing on a granite spur overlooking the Castellane River, the ruins of Paracolls Castle have guarded the deep, narrow gorges carved by the river for centuries. It is one of the oldest fortresses in Conflent (its name is mentioned in 948), built, as its name suggests, to defend a pass (in this case, a defile). It was part of the network of signal towers that stretched as far as Mosset and beyond, towards the Col de Jau. It is believed that Paracolls was the birthplace of the Catalan troubadour Béranger, "educated, courteous, and valiant, but not very wealthy." photos-pour-ot-et-bm-087 Part of the chapel dedicated to Saint Peter remains: the semicircular apse and part of the nave, a cistern, and sections of the walls. Paracolls is accessible on foot from the spa park and from Campôme. There is a beautiful view of Molitg and the valley upstream towards Mosset and downstream towards Prades.

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.

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.

And view from the top

The town was founded in the 11th century as a fortification and was surrounded by a wall and towers to protect the Conflent Valleys from invasion. In the 17th century, the village was further fortified by Vauban, among other things, with 6 bastions. The consistently preserved fortifications around the place and its medieval flair also put it on the list of the most beautiful places in France. As part of the Vauban fortifications, it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

A beautiful view of the Château de Thorrent and the small hamlet, it is only made up of a few houses, but it is very cute. Unfortunately, we can only admire it from afar from the track.

Nice walk with nice view, not difficult. Nice starting point at a fort. In the summer maybe start early due to the temperature. Consider long pants given the low vegetation.

When buying tickets, it is advised to take the footpath up and down the underground stairwell. This has the advantage that you can enjoy the longer climb the ever better prospective view (even if the sun is bang quite a few places) and the descent in the stairwell not so much oncoming traffic ... Above you will be familiar with a short introduction and received a leaflet in German. At the end of the nice documented tour you can refresh yourself in the cafe. There are also picnic areas in the shade.

Villefranche de Conflent belongs together with Fort Liberia to the UNESCO World Heritage. The fortifications were built by Vauban, the older city is still as then, top maintained and maintained, with nice shops. The absolute highlight is the partly underground, partly over-thought staircase with 1000 steps, which connects the city with the fort. If you hike further up, you will finally be rewarded with a fantastic panorama, which reaches to the 50 km distant sea.
