1. Chateaux de Lastours Lastours
The Châteaux de Lastours are four so-called Cathar castles in the French commune of Lastours in the département of l'Aude. The four castles are on a rocky spur above the village of Lastours, isolated by the deep valleys of the Orbeil and Grésilhou rivers. They were built at an altitude of 300 m along a rock wall just 1300 feet long by 165 feet wide.

Village de Brousse-le-Château (plus beaux village de france, notrebellefrance, HD)

Séparé de la sobre chapelle Notre Dame de la Pitié et de son cimetière par un large boulevard ombragé de platanes, le village a pour entrée principale une porte voûtée du XIVe siècle percée dans une massive tour carrée, témoin des anciennes murailles protégeant Sarrant. Si les remparts, investis par les demeures qui s'y sont encastrées, ont aujourd'hui en partie disparu en même temps que les fossés étaient comblés, le village en a cependant conservé sa forme circulaire.
A l'intérieur de la cité, la rue principale est bordée de hautes maisons de pierre dont l'étage supérieur, souvent en encorbellement, est fait de torchis et colombages. Au centre du cercle, l'église paroissiale a été reconstruite et agrandie après les Guerres de Religion avant d'être coiffée au XIXe siècle, d'une fine flèche octogonale dominant les très belles toitures du village. Hors de la cité, l'école typique des constructions scolaires de la IIIe république de Jules Ferry, fait face à de paisibles jardins que longe le ruisseau alimentant un ancien lavoir.
