Walk in the footsteps of Cathar and medieval castles!

The Ariège is a land of castles, where every valley holds the memory of knights, legends and the great hours of Occitan history. Here, medieval silhouettes still stand proudly on the heights, watching over villages and rivers. Cathar fortresses, clinging to their rocky spurs, bear witness to a past of resistance and freedom. Their ruins, often bathed in light and silence, invite both contemplation and imagination. To discover these castles is to plunge into a universe where nature and history are one. It’s a chance to follow in the footsteps of those who shaped these lands, and to be swept away by the unique atmosphere of the Ariège mountains.
