Tips

In 1243, the Castle of Montségur was the main stronghold of the Cathars. During the Third Albigensian Crusade, the Crusader army besieged the castle, initially unsuccessfully. Catapults could not be used because of the great height of the fortress. This changed one night when a group of soldiers managed to take a nearby tower, so that the crusaders could attack the castle from about the same height. On March 16, 1244, the Cathars and their defenders surrendered.

Beautiful view of the "safe mountain" - the somewhat arduous climb is definitely worth it, because from the top you have a fantastic view ☺️
