We visited Queribus and Peyrepertuse on the same day with our two young children (just turning 4 and 8 years old). Both chateaux were spectacular, and the day was the highlight of our trip...

Amazing how they built this. Castle itself is quite small but the views of it and from it are amazing. Definitely worth a visit

We did the walk from the town- hard going up on the red route but worth it - disappointing was the price to go up to the castle once we got there . I would guess most of the money goes to maintaining the shop and salaries and nothing for the castle itself
