People travel for miles around to eat at this rustic, very authentic French country restaurant attached to the hotel. Unsophisticated but hugely atmospheric, a great destination at the end of the Yellow Train ride .... but you may need to get there early / try and book a table.

Castell de Peyrepertuse
A ruined Cathar castle built in the 11th century along a craggy ridge.
Sometimes regarded as the last Cathar stronghold , this can be visited en route to or from the castle of Peyrepertuse. Much more austere, Quéribus is high and isolated. It stands on top of the highest peak for miles around. From a distance it can be seen on the horizon, sticking up into the sky.
It is accessible to visitors. You can drive almost to it, walking just the last few hundred metres. The entrance to the castle itself is very steep and narrow – a defensive measure.
