Sacred Mountain in the Pyrénées-Orientales, not so long ago thought by many to be the "highest mountain in the World", this really is a special place.

It's snow capped top rises above all its surroundings, and there are many remains of ancient civilisation to be found on its flanks and lower slopes.

Who can help but be seduced by this wonderful mountain, appearing as it does in so many of those wondrous views currently to be seen on the Channel 4 documentary? series "Chateau Monty", Thursday evenings.

See here for a typical view from Monty's vineyard.
