Montségur there is much more to the
Montségur site than just its castle. It is the veritable
symbol of the resistance put up by the lands of
Languedoc. In 1243, when the whole region had
given in to the crusaders, only Montségur resisted
the repeated attacks mounted by several thousand
soldiers. After a ten-month siege and in the
depths of a particularly harsh winter, Montségur
surrendered. On 16th March 1244, more than
250 Cathars were burnt alive. Lower down, in the
village, the Archaeological Museum will allow you
to complete your tour of the castle and get a better
grasp of the site’s history, notably with several
mock-ups and a film reconstituting one of the
houses in the Cathar stronghold.
On the spot: car park, restaurant, arts & crafts,
boutiques, shops.
 Access from Lavelanet town centre (roundabout):
take the Foix direction. As you leave Lavelanet turn
left and follow the signs to Montségur.
Mirepoix The Bastide (Mediaeval “New Town”)
was destroyed in 1289 by the flood caused by
the bursting of the Puivert dam, and rebuilt on its
current site under the aegis of Guy III de Lévis. It
was laid out according to the regular plan of the
Bastides of South-West France. Its unusual square –
surrounded by 15th-century timber-framed arcades
– is home to the famous “Maison des Consuls”
decorated with around one hundred carved wooden
heads. The Porte d’Aval (gateway) bears witness to
the old fortifications, and its old Cathedral imposes
itself through its sheer size. Mirepoix, home of the
good life, is a place to discover, and rediscover.
