The Cathar Quest: Ancient paths. Wild landscapes. A journey back to yourself.

Ancient paths. Wild landscapes. A journey back to yourself. Five days of walking, history, nature and adventure through the extraordinary Cathar country of southern France.

Imagine waking to mountains on the horizon. Walking ancient paths through forests and valleys. Climbing towards a medieval fortress perched high above the landscape. Stopping for a picnic beneath the ruins of a castle. Listening to stories of the people who lived here centuries ago. And having time — away from everyday life — to wonder where your own path might lead next.

Welcome to The Cathar Quest. A five-day walking adventure for people who want to experience one of the most fascinating landscapes in southern France on foot.

THIS IS MORE THAN A WALKING HOLIDAY.

The Cathar country of the Aude and Ariège is a landscape of extraordinary contrasts.
