This year France inscribed 8 royal fortresses on the UNESCO WHS list. The Royal Fortresses of Languedoc – Carcassonne, Peyrepertuse, Quéribus, Aguilar, Termes, Puilaurens, Lastours, and Montségur – embody a unique model of military architecture. I already had cards from all of these castles and now I got a few more.

high fortresses, projects its elegant silhouette above a superb panorama
from the sea to the Pyrenees.

You will be able to see its magnificent Gothic room in the dungeon, built over 700 years ago.
