The Walled City of Vannes I La Ville Close de Vannes
Vannes is a walled city in Brittany, France, that was settled by the Celts in pre-Roman times. After the Roman invasion, fortifications were built and Vannes became a walled city. Further additions such as towers, gates and bastions were added to the ramparts over the coming centuries, until the end of the 17th century. For the two centuries that followed, Vannes’ stonework was either dismantled for use elsewhere, or left in a state of ruin. This changed in the 20th century when preservation works commenced to save this heritage site.

Truly is a wonder of medieval construction preserved in time. Thanks for the video!
It's good they eventually did preservation works to save this heritage site
There are a lot of beautiful walled cities in France but this is certainly up there
