This weekend has brought many visitors to our chambre d’hotes not only for the family activities in Mirepoix but also to take part in the Trial des Citadelles.

Four competitors travelled across France and in one case made a 10 hour drive to compete in various stages of the race. There are three levels for the run 20kms, 40kms or 70kms. The course for the race follows the route of the key Cathar monuments of Montségur and Roquefixade. Bonne chance!
