  • Peregrinations Couiza - Montazels Travel Trough the Centuries a Bit of History…
    Peregrinations Couiza - Montazels Travel trough the centuries A bit of history… Couiza, close to the river Aude and Salz, attracted the attention of the Romans early in history. The surrounding heights were preferred over muddy river shores of the Salz. The place called “des Oliviers” was occupied from the 1st to the 3rd centuries BC, testified by the discovery of two Gallo-Roman coins. First, Couiza became a part of the Roman roads from Razès to Corbières. These roads have been used until the Middle-Ages. During the Carolingian period, the village was built gradually and the parish church of St John the Baptist was founded between the 9th and 10th centuries. In the feudal time Couiza was a small village under the authority of the earls of Razès, then the Carcassonne’s Viscount of the Trencavel dynasty. As a result of the crusade against the Cathars, Couiza became property of the French knight Pierre de Voisins, who also owned the villages of Rennes-le- Château, Coustaussa, Arques and Antugnac. After the peace treaty in 1258, a sharp increase of the population could be noticed. The De Voisins supported the settlement of new inhabitants. In the second half of the 14th century, the plague and the hundred-year war caused a major population decline. The beginning of the 16th century was marked by a noticeable economic recovery. In 1518, Françoise, the last heir of the de Voisins, married Viscount Jean de Joyeuse. The couple decided to build his new residence in Couiza. The construction was entrusted to sculptor and architect Nicolas Bachelier.

  • Evolution of a Salt-Rich Transtensional Rifted Margin, Eastern North Pyrenees, France

The rift platform records extension on detached rotational faults above Triassic evaporites from Jurassic to Aptian with uplift and erosion during the Albian. Transtensional Aptian–Albian minibasins align along the salt-rich rift margin fault zone. In the Aptian–Albian main rift large en echelon synclinal minibasins developed between salt walls, although Jurassic diapiric evolution is likely. Upper Cretaceous units locally record continuing diapirism. The Boucheville and Bas Agly depocentres, altered by synrift HT metamorphism, form the distal rift domain terminating south against the North Pyrenean Fault. The narrowness of the Pyrenean rift, shape of minibasins, en echelon oblique synclinal depocentres and folds coupled with a discontinuous distribution and intensity of HT metamorphism support a transtensional regime along the Iberia–Europe plate margin during late Early and early Late Cretaceous.

  • Pays Cathare
    TOURCODE: 10700 GRADES: D+ MAY – OCTOBER 2016 19 May - 26 May 08 Sep - 15 Sep 29 Sep - 06 Oct One week duration PAYS CATHARE Discovering the Cathar castles of the foothills of the French Pyrenees © Ramblers Worldwide Holidays 2015 13/03/15 ARK v1 HOLIDAY INFORMATION TOUR DESCRIPTION This information is additional to our General Information Booklet, which is enclosed. On this holiday we enjoy some beautiful walks in the foothills of the Pyrenees and benefit from the added dimension of the mystical Cathar castles and the lore surrounding them. The names may be familiar: Peyrepertuse, Quéribus, and Roquefixade to mention a few. The Cathars were a heretical sect that flourished in the Pyrenean foothills in the 12th and 13th centuries. The sect had powerful adherents who built some of the most romantically sited castles anywhere in the world. The ruins of many of these still exist on rocky desolate mountain tops and on our walks we may have a chance to explore them. The 200km Seniter Cathare trail runs from the Mediterranean to the Pyrenees. We will enjoy the highlights. Our stay starts in Duilhac (three nights), from here we will travel to Tuchan; this is where we start our weeks walk, finishing in Foix. Our walking programme will take us out into the surrounding countryside to enjoy beautiful walking, with days rambling in a variety of magnificent landscapes, from hillside vineyards, gorges and mountains to Pyrenean forests and hilltop castles. We start our journey of discovery in Tuchan where we enjoy a linear walk along the Sentier Cathare with a visit to the castle of Quéribus.
