Last stronghold of the Cathars, the department of Aude, set between the Pyrenees and Mediterranean, is as rich in history as in the diversity of its coast and countryside.
Central to Aude are the wild Corbieres Hills, a mixture of herb scented 'garrigue', oak forests and vineyards, deep valleys and almost inaccessible hilltops where the 13th century Cathars (regarded as heretics and oppressed by king and Pope) built their medieval strongholds. A fascinating corner of France for your next holiday.
