Set against rugged hills and valleys, Lastours is a unique site where there are four mini castles all located on the same hill. Dating back to the early Medieval period, they are mostly known for sheltering the Cathars during the devastating events of the 13th Century.
To reach these fortresses is a bit difficult; both because of the hilly terrain they are located on, and also as there are no direct public transport routes. Luckily, this region in the South of France is a popular cycling spot, so I was able to hire a bike and ride out to explore these fantastic ruins!
