Only historic ruins remain today on top of the hill that the Cathar castles, Chateaux de Lastours, once stood proud. It is a workout and a challenge to get up there through the steep pathways and the hot weather, but it is an option if you pay a small fee.
Just make sure you pack your water and wear hiking shoes.
Once you get up the Chateaux de Lastours, there is a nice green view of the area.
There is also a fine restaurant at its base.
