A superb medieval fortress located on Col du Villfranche, with a splendid view to Vifranche and the whole region; for nice walks and to visit the castle Mont Alban.
There is nice panorama from there as well as wile walkin gthere. And walking there is also some experience of 2000 steps.

Interesting old castle that dominates the harbour front. Well worth a walk round, and there are cafe's and shops to quench your thirst and appetite.
Spent a very enjoyable few hours visiting this ancient fort. Spectacular views from the top or through the turrets of the old fort. Inside we found a very interesting showcase of the films that have been shot around the area.
