Château de Peyrepertuse, Aude, France

This Château is famous because of its association with the Cathars during the Albigensian Crusade. Despite its extraordinary position, it was surrendered in 1240 without a fight to the represententative of King Louis IX. It is one of many exceptional sites in South-West France near the Pyrenees
