Haut-Languedoc Regional Nature Park

Found this tranquil spot on the edge of the lake haven driven through many twisting and steep roads in the forest.

View on bridge to Minerve, nice old town
This village was one of my other favorites in Southern France. It felt like I was like stepping onto a movie set's scene from the Great Crusades. 
The village and its citadel put up a valiant resistance to Simon de Montfort during a seven week siege in 1210. At the end of the siege Simon executed 140 Cathars by burning them at the stake for not renouncing their faith.
Beautiful France.
