Loaded with history, this 250-kilometre trail between the Mediterranean and Foix offers a wide variety of landscapes: coastal lagoons, wine-growing hillsides, Mediterranean scrub, canigou, forests, gorges and views of the Pyrenees.

The so-called Cathar castles of Aguilar, Padelun, Queribas, Perepertuse, Puilorren, Puyvers, Montségur... mark out the route. Built on imposing cliffs, these vertiginous citadels recall the pages of medieval history, the Cathars of Languedoc.

Author’s recommendation

Bivouacking on the Sentier Cathare is tolerated on the whole of the route from 7pm to 9am with a ban on lighting a campfire (Article L131-1 of the Forestry Code).
