Sentier Cathare

From De Port-la-Nouvelle (Mediterranean), to Montségur (Ariège), 14 days

The Cathars were a Christian Religious sect in the middle and late Medieval period. Their popularity in modern times is reflected in the fact that a long distance path is called after them, the Sentier Cathare. This trail is on the northern flanks of the Pyrenees, visiting the historic places figuring in the myths and history of this culture.
