My time in France june 2024

[Fons Baerken]

wonderful trip
Love the castles!

Thank you Armando.
many castles in france, many in ruins.
The ones i show here are from the early 12 hundreds from the Cathars.
The Albigensian Crusade, when the pope and the king of france teamed together
with the aid of zealous mercenaries to eradicate the heretics, killing many thousands.
and grab the land and its riches.
All in the name of religion.
