Explore Montsegur: The Cathars’ Final Stronghold Walking Tour
Montségur has almost a cult following, attracting Cathar history enthusiasts, hikers, and lovers of charming small French villages. This tiny village is located in France’s Midi-Pyrénées region (and the lovely Ariège Pyrénées department) on the edge of Cathar Country, near Foix and within easy striking distance of Perpignan. Montségur Château is arguably the most significant monument to the Cathar religious sect.
