j'étais loin de m'imaginer que dans le Tarn au 12/13ème siècle, les seigneurs du cru aient fait construire des défenses en haut de pitons aussi impressionnants qu'éffilés ! la réhabilitation de ce site de nos jours, doit coûter la peau de milliers de f.....vu déjà l'impotance des échafaudages !!! Très belle vision bien prise, et MERCI à nouveau de nous faire découvrir ces merveilleuses localités; Il faut que je t'avoue qu'il y a une quinzaine d'années, j'ai dévoré moult romans se passant au Moyen Age, et que voir ce qui reste de ces exploits est une grande joie...MERCI encore mille fois au "conservateur" de ces gtraces historiques du passé !!!

Cet endroit est absolument fabuleux Jean-Claude et puis aussi terriblement surprenant et ces constructions audacieuses sont époustouflantes... Une fabuleuse capture mon ami et merci de nous permettre de découvrir ces superbes endroits de notre douce France !!!

Looks very precariously perched up there! Excellent photo, Jean! Makes me think of all the houses built here in the states that are either sliding into the sea, sliding off the sides of hills and mountains or being buried in mud! I guess our continent is still busy shaping itself and we are stupid when we build in unstable locations. But tell that to the realtors! LOL.

Unfortunately, there is also here a lot of buildings that are built in dangerous areas now ... it's not like as for the castles in the medieval period!

Love the ruins indeed. Only one can imagine the stories for this area through the centuries it could tell if it could speak.. looks like some renovation going on. Love your shot and hope you have more shots like this, Jean.

It is wise to keep the history. Today at my age I enjoy it as you do. Many years ago in school I wasn't interested, because all was turned into years and where the battles were. I also think that a movie serie Games of Thrones makes us aware of those times. Great picture to learn that we take the past with us.
