    Cathar castle in the Aude looks very impressive. Car parking close by. Easy walk up but not suitable if support is needed. Excellent views from the top  more »

    Simply amazing! An incredible castle right on top of a mountain! Strongly recommend a visit.

    We had a very windy day but up there the view was fantastic and the secret path to the lower defence chamber was extraordinary

    Amazing historical building. It was closed for reconstruction weeks ago
  • By Justin Slipper
    Spectacular drive up to one of the amazing Cathar Castles. Well worth a visit along with Cucugnan and the Gorge de Galamus
  • By 姜宣宇
    It is a nice fort with amazing view and extreme windy on the top. I also lost my drone near the top because of the wind 😬.
