I'm a little behind with my blog so I apologise for the out of order dates. Wednesday with Neil having a rest from the bike we headed for chateau de Mauvezin. It's a very small castle on a hill that you can see from quite a distance. Hence when you are on top of the only tower and walls the views of the Pyrenees are amazing. It was once again a spectacularly clear sunny day so the view went on forever. The castle was basically a square with one tower. Houses were built around the inside of the wall and when the castle was being invaded all the occupants retreated to the tower. Defensively it was very well built. They had a display of some of the weapons that were used in attacking and defending the castle, they were 1/3 the actual size and very cool. They also had a display of devises they used for punishment. After our explore and putting Heather in the stockades we enjoyed a picnic with a million dollar view in the grounds of the castle. A relaxing morning and Neil survived the stairs.
