PEYREPERTUSE

Clinging to the rocky heights of the High Corbières, at an altitude of 800 metres, Peyrepertuse emerges from the midst of the Mediterranean scrubland known as the garrigue and overlooks the small village of Duilhac-sous-Peyrepertuse. This huge fortress covers the same area as the citadel of Carcassonne. Each year the largest medieval festival in the South of France takes place here when many troupes perform in the castle and in a reconstructed medieval village.
