Having a car has allowed us to expand our exploration. We visited 3 Cathare Chateaus northwest of Limoux ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catharism ). The countryside was beautiful and from the Chateaus you could see it all. Of the 3 we visited, Montsegur has the most dramatic story as it was the place that the Cathare rebellion was ended. Over 200 Cathare followers were burned at the stake after refusing to give up their religious beliefs.
