By visiting Le Château de Montsegur, you will perceive all the patheticism that emerges from the site when one tries to imagine what could have been, during the winter 1243-1244, the seat of this "citadel of vertigo". How, for the 400 people entrenched, the conditions of life, already austere in normal times, were made even harder by the isolation resulting from this long siege of 10 months. You will then have a thought for those 230 cathars who, not wanting to deny their faith, chose to die and climb themselves to the burning pyre below the castle on 16 March 1244.

Montsegur is also a historical and archaeological museum. You will discover how the inhabitants of the castle lived in the Middle Ages: tools, fittings, ornaments, weapons, dice to play ...
