Cyclo-Gravel link with Montségur and the surrounding massifs as a “wallpaper”, pretty!
The castle of Roquefixade, like other Cathar castles, is one with the rocky outcrop on which it was built. It served as a refuge and place of resistance to the Albigenses in the 13th century. In 1212, Simon de Montfort took it after burning down the village... It offers a superb view of Montségur and the surrounding mountains: Massif de Tabe, Soularac, Saint-Barthélémy, etc.
