Starting in Toulouse the group visited Notre Dame de Daurade and its Black Madonna, and Mirepoix market and Puivert Château on the way to our hotel near Rennes les Bains for the first week.

Together in the Aude and the Ariège we visited Lastours, Carcassonne, Pyreperuse, Queribus, Puilaurens, Montségur, Esperaza market, Rennes le Château and Arques.

A special highlight was a concert of Troubadour music with the Troubadour Arts Ensemble.

Moving east we stayed at Les Saints Maries de la Mer for 3 nights and then in the Couvent Royal of the Basilique de St.Maximin, before 2 nights at St.Baume to visit the Magdalene cave.
