The castle at Villerouge-Termenes, Corbieres, Languedoc
South France Guide Photo of the Week - December 22 1997
The castle at Villerouge-Termenes, in the Corbières is well worth a visit, with a fine multi-media display of the history of the Cathar religion, particularly Bélibaste, the last known Cathar priest in Languedoc, who was burnt alive here in 1321. This is one of the windows in the castle, with seating to appreciate the view.
