Nestling between 700 and 2,500 metres above sea level, Prats-de-Mollo-la-Preste, listed as one of France's Most Beautiful Villages, watches over the Tech valley in the heart of the Pyrénées-Orientales. This fortified village, crossed by the Guillème torrent, is divided in two: the lower town is home to old bourgeois houses, a church and a 17th-century town house. The steep streets and winding lanes lined with narrow houses give the upper town its medieval charm, once dominated by a royal castle.
The medieval walls, reworked in the 17th century by Vauban, are dotted with sentry walks, watchtowers and gates with bretches. The majestic Fort Lagarde, which overlooks the town, offers a breathtaking view over the valley and immerses visitors in the region's military history.
Prats-de-Mollo-la-Preste, listed as one of the Most Beautiful Villages in France, combines nature and heritage to offer a unique experience.
