Cities and fortresses
Of the many Cathar castles in the neighbourhood, of which Montsegur or de Cité from Carcasonne is the most famous one, are worth to pay a visit. Also wildly popular is a visit to the old Cathar village of Minerve with its "Pont naturel" at 20 min drive and we also have to mention one of the 152 most beautiful villages of France: Olargues (20 min).
