Didactic museum to discover the history of the Cathars, with an exhibition tracing a religious and tragic page of the Occitan Middle Ages

This didactic museum is a real pole of discovery of the Cathar history. By wandering through its spaces, the visitor will have a clearer idea of the human dimension of the Cathar faith. On the ground floor, the residence of Admiral Fuzier, whose two salons reflect the lifestyle of the Protestant upper middle class of the 19th century, is accessible free of charge. On the first floor, an exhibition recounts a religious and tragic page of the Occitan Middle Ages on 300 m², based in particular on the traces left in the village of Hautpoul.

I have been intetested in the Cathars for many years—and while this museum did not have artifacts or much “new” information about the Cathars it is well worth visiting. I still think Montsegur is the place to visit to get the feeling of the Cathars and read about them before visiting.

Que de la lecture

D’entrée, sachez que OUI il y a beaucoup de lecture, l’histoire des Cathares vous étant contée par des panneaux à lire.
Les textes sont instructifs, fidèles et assez complets.
Les enfants ont réussi à tenir les deux heures passées à l’intérieur grâce au petit cahier fourni par le Musée. (O enfants, ne le négligez pas, vous en sortirez princesse ou chevalier de Hautpoul!)
L’accueil fût bon, et la boutique suffisamment équipée pour tout curieux (amateur ou confirmé) du Catharisme.

Très instructif. Prevoir environ 2 heures si vous voulez tout lire et écouter. Grand parking gratuit pour ce garer juste en face. Accessible au camping car.
