  • By Chris Rolfe
    The views are well worth the 20 minute walk up from the village. Stunning scenery
  • By Frank Kasa
    A wonderful piece of history unfortunately destroyed by the French government who paid to have the castle dynamited. A 15 minute climb from the village with great views. The history of the castle is well explained and you can really get a feel for the tragic history that unravelled there. As it is in ruins the visit doesn't take very long. It's off the beaten track and there weren't many tourists which made the visit even better. The village is lovely as well.

    Whilst it is not as well preserved, nor as spectacular, as some of the other castles in the region, it is still worth a visit. The history of the castle is well presented in the visitor centre (in French, English and Spanish), with impressive views to the castle on the 15 minute walk up. The ruins themselves are not that great but there are super views back down to the village and of the surrounding countryside. A worthwhile visit when combined with the village and a meal at Cafe Milo.
