Oreilles en balade à Villefranche de Rouergue – Balade sonore

Starting by discovering Villefranche de Rouergue through the City of Knitting may seem surprising, given how well this medieval town is known for its beauty and the richness of its historical heritage.

But two reasons compel us to invite you to begin your visit with this stop. First, you'll enjoy a unique view overlooking the city . This is precisely what the designers of this complex intended. Second, because these listening experiences will immerse you in the little-known history of a typical social housing neighborhood built in the 70s.

To listen to the audio clip and the 30-minute documentary, we recommend sitting on a bench in the central park, surrounded by buildings . Around you, women are sitting and chatting, children are playing football…

Then head to the heart of the bastide town, to Place Notre-Dame . If you're there on a Thursday morning, the market will enchant you . And if you visit on another day, the audio guide will transport you there. In the documentary, you 'll climb the bell tower , relive the square's golden age , share the memories of former shopkeepers , and discover magnificent houses currently undergoing restoration.
