"Toy" Castle

In the middle of Maureilhan there is an old Château - seen from afar, it looks just like a Childrens Toy Fort. But it is one of the few that still has the traditional single sloping roof. Many have been restored and the roofs relaced (as in Carcassonne) with spires.

In the distance one can see the snow covered Mount Canigou in the Pyrenèes
