Together, we will explore the castle promenade and ramparts, learning about the origins and sieges of the castle.

A beloved lord of the townspeople, Viscount Trencavel will demonstrate his bravery in the face of the Pope and the attackers.

We will enter the Basilica of St. Nazaire and learn how to decipher the secrets of the stained-glass windows. Whether you are a history buff, a lover of beautiful architecture, or simply curious, this friendly and engaging experience will take you on a journey through time… without a time machine!

My favorite!

World War II did not destroy the stained glass windows of St Nazaire!
