ALBI: Heritage and Heresy

Land and legacy of the Albigensian heretics

9 – 15 September 2010

Lecturer: Dr Cathy Oakes        

This tour explores the mediaeval heritage of one of the most beautiful and unspoilt areas of France. We will visit the richly decorated Romanesque pilgrimage churches at Moissac, Conques and Toulouse, and discover the impact of the political and religious turmoil provoked by the Cathar rebellion, the Albigensian heresy of the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, from the stunning defences of the walled town Carcassonne to the great fortress like cathedral of Albi itself.
