Minerve

The medieval town of Minerve is known for the siege it suffered in 1210 during the painful crusade against the Cathars. At the turn of the last bend in the winding road, in a grandiose natural setting, the medieval town appears, perched on a rocky spur overlooking the gorges of the Cesse and the Brian, where the water has shaped astonishing natural bridges. Stroll through the medieval alleys, possibility of visiting the archaeology and palaeontology museum and the Hurepel museum

As well as the Hurepel Museum, this museum offers, in the form of dioramas (original staged figures), the story of the tragic epic of the Occitan Cathars.
