​

September 22nd, Sunday
We will be taking a trip to the Esperaza town market, and then a stop by the Cathar Chateau in
Puivert. What better way to get over jet lag than with a brisk hike to the once Cathar occupied
Chateau de Montségur. This is the site of the 9 month siege of the Catholic Church to
exterminate the Cathar population in 1243.

​

September 23rd, Monday
We will follow the Old Roman road, starting in Fitou where it is believed that Mary Magdalene
may have arrived after their escape from the Holy Land. We will follow the route across the
Corbières through the Gorge of Galamus; with a brief hike at l’Ermitage, to Bugarach, and its
church there, ending in Rennes-les-Bains. It’s possible Mary Magdalene stayed here, after
escaping the Holy Land, at a hamlet above the river where she did baptisms.

​

September 24th, Tuesday
Today we’ll return and spend the day in Rennes-les-Bains. We’ll visit The

Nostradamus’s childhood home in Alet-les-Bains. We’ll have lunch in Rennes-le-Château, and
explore the little village over looking the Aude Valley, home to many mysteries surrounding the
church there dedicated to Mary Magdalene and possible Templar treasure.

​

September 27th, Friday
Today we take a trip Vals Rupestre and tour the “Feminine” Church carved into rock there. Onto
Mirepoix with its arcades for lunch and a quick tour of the Cathédrale St Maurice. We’ll continue

with Val as guide. The chapel was originally a pre-Christian temple. If time permits we’ll visit
Église Saint-Vincent.

​
