TRAVEL THE WORLD - PEYREPERTUSE, FRANCE
In 1999, we arrived at Peyrepertuse in the fog and rain, somehow appropriate for a visit to this ruined castle set high in the French Pyrenees. It was a refuge built by the Cathars, a religious sect that flourished from the 10th to the 13th Centuries, until wiped out in the Albigensian crusades.
