Destination
The crusade against the Albigensians, or Cathars, began in 1209 in Occitan country. Its aim was to destroy the Cathar heresy in order to maintain the unity of the Roman Catholic Church. To defend themselves against the crusaders, the 13th-century heretics took refuge in many of the region's castles whose spectacular ruins rear up on the rocky mountain summits.
Close to picturesque villages, Cathar castles and historic sites, the Hôtel de la Cité provides easy and close access to a wide range of activities.
