chateau de queribus印象
-
This castle is one of the best preserved of the Cathar castles and is perched in a seemingly impossible place. You don't have to walk as far to get to it as you do for Peyrepertuse, which is larger and better known. We were more impressed with Queribus.

if you like castle and history, it is a plc a to go. the castle is well maintain and it is a bit a claim. The view is very good and you can visit and enjoy your day. Enjoy and have fun

One of the forts on the Cathar trail. Small fort but worth a visit especially for the panoramic view of the Pyrennes at the top of the chateau.

One of the many Cathar castles in the Aude/Occitan area, this is one of the best preserved. Perched on top of a massif it commands 360 views of the area and must have been intimidating in its time. How they built it goodness knows! Approached up a narrow twisting road from either Maury or Cucugnan it is a wonderful awe inspiring sight. The car park is located a short and twisty drive from the Maury-Cucugnan road. Entrance is 6 Euros (5 with a Cathar sites passport) and well worth it. There is a short but steep rocky stepped (many!) path up to the castle, quite easy not so much a challenge as some other sites, but good walking shoes and a stick recommended. Inside there are several well preserved rooms and towers to climb, all with stupendous views, especially from the main tower where the views are amazing. There are some descriptive placards around the site and an english pamphlet to guide, or if an audio guide is available. Not suitable for the disabled. There are limited refreshments and facilities at the entrance. Highly recommended.

History says this is the last place where the Cathars resisted to the French crusaders. When you see the high isolated peak, you understand that it is impossible to take, except by starving the population. An interesting visit, with a breathtaking windy experience at the passage of the gate. An impressive hall with a huge pillar, a mysterious walk down narrow stairs and corridors, great views of the plains, mountains until Spain, and the not so faraway see, nothing is missing for an unforgettable visit.

You will probably need a car to visit the Chateau as it is definitely off the beaten track. It offers a different perspective on the lives of the Cathar than the tourist inundated Carcassonne and without all the polish. Not much in the way of amenities but there is an audio guide for the Chateau. Sadly the weather wasn't clear as there is supposed to be a fabulous view from the top of the Chateau.

When you are in the region this a must see.Ok, it is a ruin, but the views on the chateau and of the surroundings are stupendous.On the other side of the valley, you can see Peyrepertuise castle and even the Mediterranean sea, Spain, etc.I am surely going to submerge myself in the Cathar history, after having seen this marvel.Beware to wear really good shoes with non slippery soles, because millions of tourists walked the rocks before you.…Should you want to visit Quéribus and Peyrepertuse, take Quéribus first!

As a few others have mentioned the hairpin roads can be hairy on the way to the car park and be prepared for a walk to the top. We visited in September and the view was amazing you could see for miles. Well worth the long up-hill walk.

We are staying North and East of Carcassonne. So our GPS took a straight south through Lagrasse and over the pass. WOW, what a drive. It you get car sick don't take that route. If you like blind hairpins turn on a road you swear is only big enough for your car, then by all means have at her. Queribus is an amazing site. Well preserved for it's age and vistas from any angle. Once you see how remote this place is and it's location on the ridge you will get a better understanding of why it was one of the last cathar strongholds.

Part of the Cathar group of medieval castles - much history, especially if you have walked miles to get here.
