Cathares Castles of the Pyrenees : From Carcassonne
or Quillan to Montsegur and Foix
From the Mediterranean to the Pyrenees Ariegeoises in the heart of
the sun blessed Corbieres region, or between Montsegur and Foix is where
you can find the secret trails and castles of the chateaux cathares. Imposing
stone castles built high up in rocky crags or pogs. These fortresses
are the symbol of a tragic, political intrigue and drama that shook the
South of France. This walking holiday combines a historical interest that
stirs the imagination as well as some memorable walking through lush unspoilt
mountains and valleys.
We offer the Cathars trail as a week itinerary from Quillan to Foix
or you can book a 9 to 14 days walk along the trail from East (the Med)
to West (Foix).
