410 AD the Cathars broke away from the Catholic Church. They would live pure... In the Aude!

The land of the Cathars still bears the traces of this rich history. Beautiful historic towns, numerous fortresses, monuments, cathedrals and churches in the Languedoc bear witness to this. In addition to its historical wealth, Aude is also characterized by its fascinating and varied landscape. Beaches, lakes, forests, rivers and mountains provide a unique mix of nature during your holiday.
