Description:
An imagined landscape painting, of a very real hill that we walk whenever we visit the Hautes Corbieres. A satisfying pinnacle of bare limestone, a comfortingly alarming gorge to traverse by steel rope, and the real threat of wild boars - make this memorable to us village-slickers.
Thermes was sacked by the evil Simon de Monfort in the 12th.C. in his drive to extirpate the Cathar cult, which was threatening to destabilise the emergent Catholic power with its rejection of worldly religious trappings and its emphasis on simplicity and perfection.
