Une petite marche de 10 mn et nous voilà au pied de la forteresse. Effectivement, il ne passe pas inaperçu .... un nid d'aigle haut perché ! Agréable saut dans le passé, il ne reste plus que des ruine... more »

A walk of 10 minutes and here we are at the foot of the fortress. Actually, it does not go unnoticed... a high Eagle's nest perched! Nice jump in the past, there are more than ruins apart from the Dungeon well preserved with the pillar room and the beautiful vaulted ceiling. Tables of guidance and educational panels. The viewpoints offer great views of the Roussillon, the castle of Peyrepertuse (Advisor) and the mythical Canigou.
