Well worth a visit for its excellent wine and the sight of the thousands of glass “bonbonnes “ full of delicious port like wine starting its long development in the 260 days of sunshine enjoyed at MA each year. \nTwo centuries ago Raymond Etienne Amiel won his 80 hectare property from the then Bishop of Perpignan at a game of cards. Now its sun baked\, wind swept terrain produces some of the best Roussillon wines of the Pyrenenées Orientales. \nStop in Maury to taste the local naturally sweet wine for which the commune is famous\, then follow the signs to Cucugnan. As you climb the Grau of Maury towards the border with the Aude you will see the Ch de Queribus on the right\, built on its 728m high rocky pinnacle in the XI Century. \nChateau de Queribus\nThe last stronghold of the Cathar defence\, it fell in 1255.  A real eagle’s nest\, it has overlooked the Corbieres\, Fenouilledes and Plains of Roussillon for centuries\, guarding the mountain pass of the Grau de Maury. \nA mere 15 – 20 men were required to man the castle\, so clever were its systems of defence. In 1258\, with the Treaty of Corbeil\, it was right on the frontier between France and Aragon. \nThe HQ was Carcassonne and\, with Aguilar\, Peyrepeteuse\, Puilaurens and Termes\, Queribus was known as one of the “five sons of Carcasonne”. \nIt remains to this day a monument to the dramatic events that have marked the turbulent history of this border country. \nShare this:\n				Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n				Facebook\n			\n				Click to share on X (Opens in new window)\n				X\n			\n				Click to share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window)\n				LinkedIn\n			\n				Click to share on Pinterest (Opens in new window)\n				Pinterest\n			\n\n	Related\n
