Cathar Castles: Queribus

Queribus









Closer up











Across the valley, from Peyrepertuse







In the AM, with the Mediterranean in the background







Why we did only one of these chateaux












The French/Spanish border ran along here for some centuries, hence these fortresses high up on the limestone crags; they were also redoubts for the Albigensian "heretics"
