The Cathar trail runs from the Mediterranean to the Pyrenees.

Over nearly 250 km, it offers a wide variety of landscapes: coastal lagoons, wine-growing hills, scrublands, forests, gorges and the peaks of the Pyrenees....

Aguilar, Padern, Quéribus, Peyrepertuse, Puilaurens, Puivert, Montségur, vertiginous citadels built on impressive rocky peaks mark the route and harken back to the medieval history of the south, and the Cathars of the Languedoc.
