The Cathar Country, a land of history
3 Nights
A concierge is at your service:
Price of a local call

Although little known to most people, this land is incredibly rich in history. By scanning these hilly landscapes, you’ll be able to distinguish the silhouettes of the "Five Sons of Carcassonne", the ancient fortresses of Puilaurens, Termes, Peyrepertuse, Aguilar and Quéribus. Through them, the Cathars left their mark on Catalan soil. From the majestic city of Carcassonne to the foothills of the Pyrenees, passing along the Mediterranean shore, this journey takes on the spirit of an odyssey...

Domaine d’Auriac

Carcassonne - France 19 rooms

This property is open.

Hotel and restaurant on a golf course. The Domaine d’Auriac is built on the ancient Carsac oppidum, where the story of Carcassonne, a Unesco World Heritage site, begins. For three generations, the Rigaudis Family has reinvented this 19th-century townhouse, built over the cellars of a Carolingian Abbey – ruled over by calm and fine dining in the shade of the 300-year-old surrounding park. The restaurant at the Domaine serves the original recipe for the typical local “Dieu le Fils” cassoulet. In a region where history, mysteries and legends, such as the story of Abbot Saunière’s treasure in Rennes-le-Château, abound, discover Cathare abbeys and castles whose ruins rise from cliff tops and rocky promontories. ...

The castles of Aguilar, Quéribus and Puilaurens

The castles of Aguilar, Quéribus and Puilaurens

A little further south, these three castles formed the first line of defense against attackers. Quéribus, perhaps the most emblematic castle, sits on a narrow rocky peak. It is in the shade of its towers that the epic crusade against the Albigensians ended. This is also where the the last religious Cathars...

Canigou, the sacred mountain

Canigou is more than a mountain, it is a true symbol for the Catalan people that celebrate it in songs and poems. Culminating at 2,784 m above sea level, its summit is the highest of the eastern Pyrenees.
