How on earth did you get up there on that pillar!? You can just sense the immense power of a mighty few from the ruins left. Seems to have been a family owned castle (not even a Cathar fortress). Not one I have visited (perhaps I never dared risk the weather by holidayin that far north in France; but your photos prove that a non-reason to be sure!) Thank you for introducing me to this castle and putting it on my to-do list.
