Travel back to the days of the Cathars on a sightseeing trip to 2 of their castles. Visit the Château de Quéribus and the ruins of the fortress of Peyrepertuse. Enjoy panoramic views of the Corbières.
We depart in the morning to visit these two amazing ruined castles…. We start with Quéribus Castle, also called citadelle du vertige, which, as its name suggests will offer you a wonderful view, literally breathtaking. During the Cathar crusade, Queribus served as a shelter to the cathars.
This is sometimes regarded as the last cathar stronghold, in a sense it was.
We have a pic nic lunch in the pretty village of Cucugnan.(take away a sandwich from Carcassonne, your guide will drive you to a bakery)
Take the time to stroll through the medieval streets of this picturesque village and go to the windmill where you will be surrounded by vineyards.
Then head onto Peyrepertuse Castle, a ruined fortress and one of the Cathar castles. It was associated with the Counts of Barcelona and later the kings of Aragon. The name Peyrepetuse is derived from Peirapertusa, the Occitan word meaning pierced rock.

ÖNEMLİ BİLGİLER
• This tour may be canceled in case of bad weather
• The path to get to the castle is steep, the hike can be strenuous
*We strongly recommend that travelers bring hiking pole equipment not provided by the agency on the day of the excursion for groups, can be provided on request by the agency for individual clients. We recommend that travelers suffering from dizziness or fear of heights, lung or heart problems, pregnant people, or people with walking difficulties (problems with hips, knees, feet, etc.), not participate in this activity.
