The castle of Termes overlooks the village and offers a superb view of the Terminet gorges. The Termes family was one of the most powerful in Languedoc and protector of Catharism. The castrum was among the first sites attacked by the Crusaders. In 1210, Raimond de Termes resisted Simon de Montfort for three months. Termes was subsequently one of the "5 sons of Carcassonne", these strategic fortresses protecting the kingdom of France, today objects of a candidacy for UNESCO. The castle was destroyed in 1654. Today, it benefits from excavation and restoration operations. The small streets will lead you to the XNUMXth century church. You can practice activities such as canyoning, horseback riding, hiking, and eat on site.
