MIDI PYRENEES

LandscapeToulouse, the Ville Rose (Pink City), Albi, hometown of Toulouse-Lautrec, the fraternal city of Lourdes, or Moissac are all must-sees during your stay in this region. Experience the many breathtaking natural attractions such as the Pic du Midi or Gavarnie, the Lot Valley or the Gorges of Tarn. Visit the various sites and villages that have withstood time and history, such as Rocamadour, Cordes sur Ciel, Marciac, Montségur, or historical cities of art and hidden treasures, such as Figeac and Montauban.
Immense commanderies constructed by the knights of the Templar have become historical emblems. The oldest of these was built in the heart of Larzac. Explore these ancient sites, and be sure to stop by Sainte Eulalie de Cernon, Saint Jean d'Alcas, La Couvertoirade, La Cavalerie and Le Viala du Pas de Jaux along the way. The region is also home to another important historical development-Catharism, a sect of Christianity that was persecuted by the Catholics. Traces of Catharism can be found everywhere, from the village of Hautpoul or the Museum of Catharism Memory in Mazamet, to Roquefixade and of course Montségur, hotbed of the Cathar struggle.
