From Montpellier, at the foot of the Cévennes, to Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port, before crossing the Pyrenees, this little-known route will enchant you with the serenity of its landscapes and the beauty of its churches, abbeys, châteaux and bastides. After the rugged guarrigues of the Minervois, you'll climb up to the picturesque city of Carcassonne. You are now entering Cathar country. Montréal, Fanjaux and Fenouillet still hold the memory of the "bonhommes" in search of purity, while Pamiers, which remained faithful to the Church, became a bishopric with imposing buildings in the Toulouse style.
