The Cathar Country: Land of Legends and History

The Pays Cathare, with its wild landscapes and perched castles, is a land steeped in history and mystery. Clévacances invites you to explore this fascinating region with comfortable accommodation close to the iconic sites of this ancient land.

A Unique Heritage

The Cathar country is famous for its fortified castles that stand proudly on mountain peaks, bearing witness to the religious conflicts and crusades against the Cathars in the Middle Ages. These fortresses, such as Montségur, Quéribus, or Peyrepertuse, offer not only a living history lesson but also breathtaking panoramas of the surrounding countryside.

Exploration and Adventure

Carcassonne, Minerve and Mirepoix are perfect examples of preserved medieval towns, where every cobbled alleyway seems frozen in time. To stroll through these towns is to plunge into the heart of history and admire an exceptional architectural heritage. But there's more to the Pays Cathare than its fortified towns: it's also a veritable paradise for nature lovers and hikers. Between vineyards, garrigues and deep forests, the trails offer varied and spectacular landscapes, ideal for an immersion in the great outdoors.
