The Châteaux de Lastours are a vast collection of four 12th-century castle ruins, perched like a chain on a mountain peak. The four castles of Lastours are named Quertinheux, Surdespine, Cabaret, and Tour Régine.

July 19, 2022,Belvédère Lastours – Château Cabaret Circuit à partir de Lastours

The short hike to see the Cathar castles will cost you 8 euros per person but it's really worth it!
Magnificent landscapes and free access to the belvedere included in the price.
For information, the price of access to the belvedere alone is 5 euros (seems free after 7 p.m. through the small green gate).
