  We've visited Villefranche de Conflent with teenagers and thought the walk along the ramparts would be a funny thing to do. Both adults and young people were delighted by this nice walk. The view of the town and the mountains is really nice, the explanations are good and everybody enjoyed it.

  hard slog up to the fort but worth it. Incredible walk down the internal secret stairs back to the village.

  What a beautiful town with outstanding ramparts surrounding the buildings. This really is worth a visit.

  The city itself is beautiful, nothing bad to say about that. But the ramparts are terrible. You're walking mostly through long dark corridors, searching for arrows. But the tour was pretty chaotic in our opinion.The view outside is mainly roofs and cars and the most inreresting piece is seen at the very beginning of the tour.And for something as touristic as this, the info is very limited. You get a piece of paper with some explanation of the story, but 90% what's told inside the ramparts is French. Give an English translation too and a lot of tourists can read it too. Although the ramparts are pretty on the outside (and some inside places too) you won't miss out on anything if you skip this one.

  Medieval ramparts rebuilt in the 18th century. Long walk inside the ramparts - can easily trip - needs more lighting and more signs in English. Beautiful city

  A simple tour looking at more ruins - but interesting. spent more time wandering around the town which was full of craft shops - worth a stop if you are in the area, about 40 minutes.

  This is a lovely middle-age village with nice and narrow streets and historic buildings. If you are in the neighborhood, you must visit this place.

  Whilst waiting for a train in Villefranche railway station, my wife and I saw the nearby impressive walls of the Vauban Ramparts. We wandered in, and found a truly delightful French village within the walls. Chock full of good restaurants and shops, and with a long and remarkable history, this is one of those well-kept secrets of France. If you are in the area, near Perpignan, don't miss it - its free, as well!

  This must be unique. A walled town with covered walls. Its a good visit with plenty to see and learn about the history of the town and the region.

  The fortified wall is very well maintained. The visit is mostly in the shade, excellent on a sunny day. The guide was very knowledgeable about the history and made it very interesting. The visit takes about 1 hour. These fortifications are part "Fortifications of Vauban - UNESCO World Heritage Centre". This city itself is well worth the visit and see yourself go back in time.
