Puivert has much to engage the visitor. Not only is its imposing Cathar Castle worthy of a visit, but the Quercorb museum in the heart of Puivert is dedicated to music and documents the history of the local traditions and crafts. Excursions can be made to the nearby market towns of Chalabre and Quillan, both untouched by the vicissitudes of modern tourism.
The medieval town of Mirepoix is stunning and described by many guidebooks as “a hidden gem”. This is 30 kilometres away and an easy bike ride. Limoux is the centre for Cremant and Blanquette wines offering numerous caves for wine tasting (and purchasing!) It hosts an annual carnival from January to April, when the streets are alive to the sounds of troubadours and musicians.
Carcassonne boasts 2 UNESCO World Heritage Sites: an enchanting fortified medieval city and the Canal du Midi, as well as an arts festival drawing performers from across Europe. In this land of myth and mystery, there are a host of Cathar castles in the area, notably at Peyrepertus, Montsegur and Queribus.
In winter there is skiing at Mont Les Olmes (30 minutes) Font Romeu (60 minutes) and Andorra (90 minutes). There are miles of mountain paths awaiting exploration on foot, as well as white water rafting and canoeing, tennis, horse riding, gliding in Puivert and the Mediterranean beaches less than 90 minutes away.
