Lastours
France, France
Lastours is a small village in the Aude department of southern France, best known for the spectacular Châteaux de Lastours, a group of four medieval hilltop castles overlooking the Orbiel Valley.
The castles, named Cabaret, Tour Régine, Surdespine, and Quertinheux, stand on a rocky ridge and are among the most striking historic sites in the Cathar region. The site played an important role during the Albigensian Crusade and was closely linked to Cathar history. After the medieval conflicts, the castles were rebuilt as royal fortresses and served as strategic defensive positions for centuries.
Today, Lastours is a popular destination for visitors interested in history, archaeology, and nature. The castles, surrounding hiking trails, and panoramic viewpoints offer breathtaking views and a fascinating glimpse into the medieval past of southern France.
