In the Footsteps of the Cathars: The Cathar Trail from Port-la-Nouvelle to Foix

 

Port-la-Nouvelle, the gateway to the Aude department, is the perfect starting point for an immersive hike in the footsteps of the Cathars. This legendary trail, the GR 367, invites you to discover an exceptional historical heritage and diverse landscapes, from the Mediterranean coast to the Pyrenees mountains.
