Very large castle(s) in a very beautiful corner of nature at the top of a hill with an impressive view... You have to be able to walk to get there. Difficult to access if your mobility is reduced or even impossible in a wheelchair, but this site is fabulous. It would need a lot more financial resources for its restoration.

Lost at the checkout very unfriendly, fortunately the place is magical which makes you forget the lack of courtesy of the welcome.

too expensive for just the ruins, if there were still whole rooms left to see the castle but just to see the walls 8€ is expensive for just a point of view

It's one of the 5 'sons of Carcassonne' - the great ancient castles near the amazing city. This one is in the best condition and is at the highest height within its 'brothers'. Very interesting place to have a look.
