In the surroundings

Villeneuve-Minervois
The cathare civilisation, attenuated by force in the 15th century by the French kings, has left behind important architectural vestiges, contrarily to generally accepted ideas saying that all the cathare monuments have been destroyed.
In Villeneuve-Minervois, the cathare dolmen dates to the XIIè siècle.
After a journey along the high places of the cathares one is left with an impression of mistery and splendeur that incites the imagination and plunges the visitor into another century.
Villeneuve-Minervois is one of the gates to the cathare territory.

Want to learn more about the cathares?

New: Maison de la Truffe, open daily from June 1 to September 30 from 12 to 18. Tel 04.68.72.35.47
