Montsegur, a Cathar castle in the south of France, was besieged and destroyed, and the Cathars inside it slaughtered, in the 13th century.
Believe it or not, this coward, terrified of heights, climbed up to this castle in 1982. The wall at the front right of the third picture is right over a 1500m drop. The stone steps up to it are still in place, and I climbed up to see the view. Couldn't
climb down again though - I had to bump down on my backside! The 10-year-old with us held on to a metal 
spike in the 
corner and leaned right out. Brave boy.
Oh Lord I'm terrified of heights. Going up there would be the death of me!
