Highlights

cathar citadel - private tour carcassonne

This private escorted tour explores the Cathar sect, their life and times and final persecution at the hands of the Inquisition. This pious and peaceful movement had many followers in the Languedoc but were deemed a threat to the established church – and to the French throne - and so were hounded mercilessly by Simon de Montfort and the Albigensian crusade into seeking refuge in some of the most dramatic and spectacular chateaux in the South of France.

 Our tour traces the fight of these dissidents with visits of countless medieval castles and fortresses; excursions through the Minervois vineyards with wine tastings at Limoux; visits of villages classed among France's "Most beautiful villages" such as visits to Minerve, and guided tours with English explanations as to the religious and historical importance of Catharisme.
