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.

The Corbières is one of the wildest areas of France with one of the lowest population densities. It is picturesque with wine growing areas alternating with garigue and mountainous countryside. It is located mainly in the Aude département and partly in the Pyrénées-Orientales département. The River Aude borders the Corbières to the west and north. To the south is the River Agly and to the east the the Mediterranean Sea. The name Corbières comes from "cor" a pre-Celtic word meaning "rock" and "berre" from the River Berre which runs through Durban. The eastern part of the Corbières with its Etangs, borders the the Mediterranean Sea and is called the Corbières maritimes. It has its own distinctive climate and characteristic vegetation known as thermomediterranean vegetation...

Vin de Pays d’Oc,
Vin de Pays de l’Aude |
| |
Vin de Pays means 'country wine' to the French, but to outsiders it can mean New World with a French accent. These are the wines which the French authorities unreservedly allow to be labelled with the grape variety from which they were made. It is difficult to over-estimate the importance of this large and growing category of wines for the future of the French wine trade. The French themselves may have tended to see any Vin de Pays as distinctly inferior to any appellation contrôlée wine, whereas many of their customers abroad see the better Vins de Pays as good-value, user-friendly, sometimes high-quality non-conformist emissaries from the world's most revered wine producer....

Auberge dining is what we search for in Rural France: discover Chez Divine, Auberge du Terroir which epitomises this quest. Situated in the tiny square of Mouthoumet, you could be excused for passing by assuming the blue shuttered building to be someone’s home. With a side entrance, the menu board is flanked by two beautifully manicured box shrubs – the only contemporary styling to be found here. Chez Divine’s interior evokes the same cosy ambiance - a waitress will soon direct you to a waiting table laid with a huge, brightly coloured ceramic jug full of icy water next to a basket of fresh bread. Relax and pass leisurely moments studying the surprisingly extensive menu: an á la carte section listing salads and grills followed by expansive complete menu options of regional dishes, cheese and homemade desserts....

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...
