a little information in English:
Villefranche-de-Conflent (Catalan Vilafranca de Conflent) is a small walled town in the Pyrénées-Orientales département, southwestern France.
The town is tightly packed within the original castle walls and is bounded on one side by the road running up into the Cerdagne and on the other by the Conflent.
If anyone has any translations, or more information, please add it. This looks like it would be a fun place to visit!

I'd love to see it too. it's one of UNESCO's World Heritage Sites.
