Rempart de Villefranche-de-Conflent

The Remparts de Villefranche-de-Conflent are a unique and well-preserved fortification system in the town of Villefranche-de-Conflent, France. The walls date back to the 11th century and have been modified over the centuries, with the most notable additions being made by Vauban in the 17th century. The fortifications feature a double level of covered walkways, with the lower level being vaulted and the upper level being crowned with a traditional slate roof. Some medieval towers are still intact, and the site has been classified as a historic monument. The Remparts are also part of the Fortifications of Vauban, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Visitors can explore the walls and enjoy the stunning views of the surrounding countryside. The site is not accessible to people with disabilities, but it is suitable for families with children, and there are exhibitions and activities available, including a virtual treasure hunt and exhibitions on the history of the site's history and the daily life of miners in the region
