About the Activity

It is the passion for the history of the Cathar knights and castles that will completely draw you into this very powerful story of the Albigensian crusade. The tour guide will transport you very quickly into the events and will allow you to truly understand the strong and exceptional personality of the lords who fought with few resources and a lot of courage against a very large army. You will learn in clear terms who the Cathars were. You will want to visit the other sites of Aude which are just as fascinating: Cathar castles, abbeys, corsair villages... which will be discussed during the visit.
