It is the passion of the history of the Cathar knights and castles that will take you totally into this very strong history of the Algerian crusade. The national speaker guide, who has been speaking for 20 years and is native of the territory, will transport you very quickly into the events and will allow you to really know the strong and exceptional personality of the lords who fought with few means and much 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 the Aude that are just as exciting: Cathar castles, abbeys, privateer villages... which will be discussed during the visit.
