Visited this charming castle ruins in the Tarn region. The 150m elevation gain provides nice views of the surrounding countryside. Located in Saint-Étienne-de-Gourgas, it's a pleasant historical site to explore. Note that there are entrance fees and no free parking available, so plan accordingly. The medieval architecture remnants are well-preserved and offer great photo opportunities.
