Introduction tour to the Cathars, the Templars and the Magdalene in the Aude/


This four day, four-night tour in French Occitania, offers an introduction to the history and legends of Mary Magdalene, the Templars and the Cathars.

Scheduled group tours are available in May and June 2020 and private tours are available all year round.

I have curated this tour working  with expert guides whom I have come to know through working with Cathar Country Tours.  Historians, authors and researchers who are drawn here by its rich heritage and many stunning beauty today.

The gives an historic over view and an introdiction to the esoteric beliefs and legends and the sites made well known by Authors such as Kate Mosse, Dan Brown, Kathleen McGowan.

The tours also deliver an authentic flavour of the Aude today; its ‘Paysanne’ tradition and the southern French  savoir-faire will be revealed in this tucked away corner of France.

The guides and itineraries are included in the tour - as are restaurant and hotel reservations. Bills for Restaurants and Hotels are paid directly. This is because I am an independent Destination Management Consultant rather than a travel agent. It also means that sales tax is not charged twice.
