Overview
It is the passion for the history of the Cathar knights and castles that will completely draw you into this very powerful story of the Albigensian crusade. The tour guide will transport you very quickly into the events and will allow you to truly understand the strong and exceptional personality of the lords who fought with few resources and a lot of courage against a very large army. You will learn in clear terms who the Cathars were. You will want to visit the other sites of Aude which are just as fascinating: Cathar castles, abbeys, corsair villages... which will be discussed during the visit.

What To Expect
Carcassonne Center
We start our visit by discovering the ramparts and the main panoramic viewpoints, then we enter the City to discover the exterior part of the Château Comtal, the streets of the City, the Basilica of Saint Nazaire and the Hotel de la Cité.

We evoke the most important period of the 12th and 13th centuries: the time of the Cathars and knights such as Trencavel (lord of Carcassonne) and Xabert de Barbaira who fought with Courage and self-sacrifice to defend the populations during the crusade led by Pope Innocent Three and Simon de Montfort.
