EXCELLENT Based on 4439 reviews Published on Google Xavier Borràs Spectacular!Published on Google Dominique Devos 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.Published on Google Aurore Mistri Super beautiful castle not to be missedPublished on Google Julie De Peretti Della Rocca Lost at the checkout very unfriendly, fortunately the place is magical which makes you forget the lack of courtesy of the welcome.Published on Google The Wolf 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 viewPublished on Google Fernando Medina Unas spectacular vistas from an idyllic place.Published on Google Kirill Maksimkin 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.
