Chateau Montsegur (Quillan, France)

You Campsite: La Sapinette, Quillan
On our way into this area yesterday, we saw a sign regarding Chateau Montsegur, which looked really interesting so today was it.
Let me tell you, just wow. The Château de Montségur is a former fortress near Montségur and a site of a razed stronghold of the Cathars.  The ruins lie on top of a stone dome and it took us a good 45 minutes to hike up but the views were worth it!

Timm ready to go

Halfway Up


The Ruins





The View!


We even encountered two Knights!



The landscape in the Pyrenees is just breathtaking



Bearing in mind that we are driving in the middle of the Road, the guy who did the road markings had some serious humour!
