"Carcassonne, located in southern France between Montpellier and Toulouse, was founded in the 6th century BC by Iberian Celts. The Romans transformed the hill into a fort by building a defensive wall. In the 5th century, the Visigoths conquered the city, followed by the Arabs in the 8th century, who were expelled by Pepin the Short in 759. In the 12th century, Count Trencavel built a castle on top of the Roman city wall at the highest point of the hill. Carcassonne became a central element in the defense system on France's border with Aragon. In the mid-13th century, the dilapidated wall was protected by a second, outer city wall." This is how the website for the television series "Treasures of the World – Heritage of Humanity" describes the city, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. ...

Hilly road with some climbs at 9-10%

Small pass with Puivert castle in sight during the climb

At the 4th bend, much easier and shaded. Pleasant little pass.

Very nice and there were waffles and ice cream

Picnic tables and views of the vineyards for a little gourmet break!

Tough, hard pass that hurts the legs.

The Col de Festes and its view of the snow-capped Pyrenees in the distance: the perfect picnic break! The best thing is to take the path that starts from the summit for 200m and you will find yourself in peace and quiet with a beautiful view!
