The Puivert Castle, Southern France
This castle was built in the 13th century, and has a long history of battles. I think it's too far out of the way for most tourists - so we had it mostly to ourselves. There will be pictures of the inside posted on ofoto.com, as well as down a few posts.
It was a VERY hot day, while we cooked on the outside, much of the main part of the castle is still intact, and we were able to go inside all 3 floors. It was amazingly cool on the inside. If we built our houses like these castles - we would not need A/C.
We did alot of stairs this day. As you can imagine all castles are built on the top of a hill - and each floor had flights of stairs. You take a sprial stair case to get the top ... I had to stop along the way cause I was getting dizzy.
A well preserved Castle/Fort, well worth the visit.
