Leaving the Gorges de Frau canyon, the Sentier Cathare (Cathar trail) follows a track through the beautiful and thick forest, parallel to the Rivels stream. The ground can be muddy, so you have to be careful.

Beyond the Horizon

October 3, 2023

In the depths of the Gorges de Frau, where the gorge reveals its last secrets, another adventure begins: the Sentier Cathare. This mystical Cathar path leads us out of the narrowness of the gorge and unfolds into a magnificent forest panorama that spreads out before us like a green carpet.

Step by step, the rough rockiness of the gorge is replaced by the gentle rustling of leaves and the gentle babbling of the Rivels stream. Each step on this path is like diving into another time, where the stories of the Cathars echo through the forests and invite us to discover their secrets.

The forest reveals itself in all its splendor, dense and lush, and gives the hiker the feeling of immersing themselves in an enchanted place. But the path also has its pitfalls: after a rain shower, the ground can be slippery and muddy, so you have to be alert at all times and take each step carefully.
