Breathe…
… heavily as you climb the last steps to the top of Chateau Roquefixade to look between limestone crags over verdant valleys towards the ruins of Mont-segur, the final stand of the last of the noble doomed Knights of Cathar. Learn history at the heart of medieval France as you climb the living ramparts and streets of Carcassonne, of Foix and the ruins of Peyrepertuse, Quéribus, and Aguilar perched along the arete of the midi- Pyrenees in charming, friendly, authentic Ariege. Ariège.
