The castle of Puilaurens (also written Puylaurens) is mentioned for the first time early in the XIIIth century. It was a shelter for cathar people from 1241 to 1246. The date of its surrender to the royal troops is not known precisely, probably around 1250. As several other castles around, it was integrated by the King Saint Louis in the defensive plan of the border with the Aragon Kingdom. After the treaty of the Pyrenees in 1659, that has fixed definitively the border, the castle was downgraded and have been occupied by only a little garrison.

Restaurant
Aux Quatre Saisons |
 |
|
|
Make a stopover at
Restaurant Aux Quatre Saisons, and you will be welcomed by two restaurant
enthusiasts Paul and Val Bridgestock, in an old stone building, which smells
good relaxation and serenity. Beyond simply cooking, culinary art was an obvious
choice for Paul, who likes to combine the flavours of local products and offer a
whole range of recipes revisited. Driven by the desire to constantly satisfy
their customers, Paul in the kitchen and Val in the dining room, take pleasure
in offering a personalized service, with 22 possible places in their restaurant,
it is therefore essential to book in advance to avoid any disappointment. In the
evening, it is lit only with candles to offer you a romantic atmosphere. The
menus evolve with the seasons and local products. A terrace will welcome you on
sunny days, while in winter you can warm up by the large fireplace. However,
what remains the specificity of this restaurant is their selection of cheeses
served every evening from the trolley...
