Chateau de Peyrepertuse is 20 minutes drive from Le Grand Passion. You can combine this trip with a swim in the Cascades Duilhac. Peyrepertuse is the largest castle of the Corbières. The fortress consists of two castles, which are surrounded by a common wall. The Château Bas, situated on a protruding portion of the rock, was the feudal Peyrepertuse from the 13th century. At the Roc Saint-Georges, 60 meters higher than the Chateau Bas, is the second castle San Jordi, or Saint-Georges. It was built in 1250 by King Louis IX and is accessible only by the Escalier Saint-Louis, a steep staircase carved into the rock. The view from the chapel of San Jordi on the old castle and its surroundings are impressive: Quéribus, the Corbières, the Fenouillèdes, Perpignan and the Mediterranean in the distance.

Domaine
de Dernacueillette |
|
| |
 |
|
| |
 Located at an altitude of more than 600 m at the foot of the Hautes Corbières, the plots of the Dernacueillette estate extend over the Terroir of Termenes. Guillaume Boussens lives there, in the middle of his vines, which he tends every day and benefits from the gifts of nature. It enriches the soil with natural organic material by reprocessing crushed shoots of vines and sheep manure into the soil. The estate consists mainly of old vines and produces very high quality grapes. These vines were grafted on site many years ago and are self-regulating. They produce small grapes with a fine skin and an exceptional taste. Guillaume thus works on the purity of the fruit to promote the production of characterful, frank and subtle wines. This vineyard is planted in a natural cauldron, around which the north winds swirl, creating a 95% continental microclimate and not a Mediterranean climate. The surrounding landscape is wild and protected from pollution. It is not rare to see a pair of eagles or black kites soaring above the crests in the morning. Each vintage thus presents an unprecedented alchemy combined with constant quality, the result of careful vinification carried out according to the rules of the art. All the more reason to discover it as soon as possible...

Mon Grain de Sel is located in a small village, Soulatgé nearby Cucugnan, a few miles on the road of the Cathar castles. The boss that you receive is an excellent cook and also very warm. These dishes are only made with fresh products supplied by farmers in the area. Taste its delicious "beef cheek sauce medieval" and his lemon tart a real treat. 2 menus one at 16 € and 20 € and map. A welcoming restaurant where you eat simple food but very tasty. Luxury is not the decor but the plate! I liked: The quality of the dishes. The warm welcome and the simplicity...

Between the La Buade mill
and Termes, the road, constructed in 1903, passes through two tunnels in the
Gorges du Termenet cut by the Sou.
The steep walls of the Gorges consist of
rocks of the middle and lower Devonian periods. In the centre a beautiful vein
of red marble runs the height of the cliffs. The Gorges is in a protected area.
South of Termes, upstream of the Saint Andrew chapel and still on the Sou, there
is another protected natural site -the gorge of Coyne Pont. This also cuts
through rock of the lower Devonian period. The middle section forms a bowl and
in part of the river bed a jumble of travertine rocks indicates a collapsed
natural bridge. (Coyne Pont means "the cave bridge" in Occitan)...

Picturesque gorge at the foot of Mount Tauch... Apart an, the only other sizeable settlement in this terroir is Tuchan, on the slopes of Mont Tauch, 917m (2800 ft) high. The name comes from the Occitan word touch, meaning yew tree, popular here as elsewhere in pre-Christian times. Only a few of these trees now remain. On the slope of Mont Tauch is the chapel of Notre Dame de Faste. Its presence in this remote spot is explained by the spring that rises here. It was almost certainly a holy place before it was Christian place. It is approached by a track...

Château Villerouge-Termenès |
|
|
|
In the center of the village of Villerouge, in the Langedouc region of France, is the ancient castle of Termenes. The Villerouge-Termenes castle is known as the home of the last known Cathar Prefect Guilhem Belibasate, who was burned at the stake during the Catholic crusades of the 13th century. The Albigensian Crusades, as they are known, were ordered by Pope Innocent III. During those crusades, thousands of Cathars were burned at the stake. In the city of Beziers alone, thousands were killed. History records the infamous words of Arnaud Amaury, when asked whether to kill both Catholics and Cathars, responded: "Kill them all; God will recognize his own". He later reported to Pope Innocent III that "neither age, nor sex, nor status had been spared, and nearly twenty thousand people perished." This should be a lesson to everyone regarding the dangers of religious fanaticism...
