Description

A rocky outcrop between the deep, narrow valleys of the River Orbiel and Grésillou stream bears the remains of four castles on its wild slopes. Named Tour Régine, Cabaret, Surdespine and Quertinheux, in the 12C the latter three made up the fortress of Cabaret, seat of Pierre-Roger de Cabaret, a staunch defender of Catharism. In 1210, during the Albigensian Crusade, Simon de Montfort was driven back from its walls, but took the site a year later after Pierre-Roger de Cabaret surrendered. The King of France built Tour Régine to assert his power and dominance.
