蒙塞古尔城堡

I went to Château de Montségur on the 7-04-2024. It was a amazing experience. The climb was not as bad as I thought it looked. It has steps in places, some quite high and quite rocky and uneven, so just take your time if you have concerns. I went with someone who had a hip replacement 8 weeks ago, and they managed the climb too( she was a little sore but not too bad). One of our party mentioned he wished he had better trainers as his feet hurt coming down with the pressure of the stones on the souls of his feet. Either walking shoes or descent cushioned trainers will be fine. It took me around 25 minutes and I stopped at a couple of view points for photos and just to take in the beautiful landscape. There was no charge to go up as out of season I believe. Car park is free, and it looks fairly new restaurant opposite the car park, however this wasn't open as again out of season. The climb is well worth it, take a pack lunch and water and enjoy the energies and view. (NOTE, no where to fill up water bottles on the climb or at the bottom) You might as well make the most of the climb LOL and make a couple of hours of it. On our visit we up again at night fall to experience the energies and take night pictures in the dark. (Take good torches and quite rocky navigating the descent in pitch dark .Again a amazing experience as we had the Château to ourselves. Well worth the trip and I will visit again in the future

Un magnifique point de vue depuis ce château mythique des Cathares.
Accès payant. Le site reste ouvert (et visiblement gratuit) après la fermeture

La montée est ardue (au moins 30 minutes à vitesse tranquille) mais ouah quelle claque quand on arrive au sommet .Une vue panoramique splendide à 360 °
Pas de guichet, pas d'accès fermé donc pas de billet d'entrée pour nous ...peut-être l'été ?

Un incontournable. On y revient toujours avec autant de plaisir et d'emotion. Assension de 20 à 25 minutes assez raide mais praticable. La récompense avec une vue incroyable et imprenable à 360 degrés. A faire... et à refaire ❤️

Castillo cátaro del siglo XIII. El camino hasta arriba es un poco dificultoso en ciertos tramos, pero accesible en general (subimos varios adultos, niños y dos perros sin excesivos problemas). Las vistas desde arriba hacen que el esfuerzo valga la pena, ya que el entorno es de una gran belleza. A través de los diferentes paneles informativos que nos iremos encontrando por el camino, descubriremos la trágica historia del lugar. Lamentablemente, el estado del castillo es ruinoso, que aunque conserve las paredes, el interior está hueco. Atención muy amable en la taquilla (hay que señalar que el acceso es de pago).
