Carcassonne Crusade ride 1
Step into the heart of Cathar country on this 220 km (135 miles) ride through the Pyrenean foothills southwest of Carcassonne. Wind your way to the poetic Château de Puivert, once a gathering place for medieval troubadours, before pausing at the Col de Montségur with its haunting views of the last Cathar stronghold. Enjoy a lunch break in the charming town of Foix beneath its historic hilltop castle, then cruise to Mirepoix for a relaxed drink in its postcard-perfect medieval square. History, curves, and panoramic mountain vistas—all in one legendary ride.
