Chateau Peyreteruse-Cathar Country



Early last week we went south towards Spain and climbed up into Chateau Peyretertuse. This old chateau was one of the “five sons” of Carcassonne guarding France from Spanish counts of Aragon until the Treaty of Pyrenees was executed some centuries ago. Although well into Cathar country, it was not part of the heretic troubles a long time ago. Today it is a very interesting ruin commending great views of the surrounding countryside.
