Fenouillet, Mountain summit in Occitanie, France.
The Fenouillet summit reaches an elevation point offering expansive views across the Pyrenees-Orientales department and neighboring mountain ranges of Occitanie.
Throughout centuries, the Fenouillet summit functioned as a strategic observation point for monitoring activities in the valleys between multiple Cathar castles.
Local mountaineering groups organize regular guided walks to the summit, sharing knowledge about regional plants and geological formations with participants.
Hikers can access the summit through marked trails from the nearby village, with parking available at the base and water sources along the route.
The summit location provides direct views of five medieval castles, including Peyrepertuse and Puilaurens, creating a natural connection between historical fortifications.
