Our Story
As an extension to my Languedoc tour business ( www.cathar-heritage-tours.co.uk ) this site was established to share my love of the region's rich history of the Cathar people in Languedoc. This is a pictoresque region and a broad range of local knowledge can be found on the " useful information" links page of the web site. The religous war between catholic crusaders and the small cathar community was a shocking affair, a long and bloody conflict that some have called "the earliest form of ethnic cleansing"
I charge €280 total for up to 4 persons inclusive for a full day tour in this amazing region with explanation of places visited
Some of favourite photos of the people and landscape can also be seen to hopefully draw you to visit the region and its treasures.
I have also put a couple of word documents there from my own reading on the subject to provide a quick precis of its background and story:
