Castle and Church of Miraval-Cabardès

Highlight • Castle

Here is a very small village quite representative of the Cathar country with its church and the ruins of a castle enthroned on a rocky outcrop. It had only 46 inhabitants in 2020, after having experienced a population peak of 469 inhabitants in 1806, a sign of the rural desertification that affects this region.
The village is the birthplace of the troubadour Raimon de Miraval who officiated in the Languedoc region in the 12th and 13th centuries. A plaque leaning against the rock at the foot of the remains of the castle reminds us of his work and his existence.

Saint Peter's Church of Vals

Highlight • Other

Isolated at a crossroads, the church of St Pierre de Vals is a building that is currently largely in ruins. Its origin cannot be dated with certainty, but it predates the 13th century. Until the middle of the 17th century, it served as a parish church for the two communities of the villages of Tourette and Miraval-Cabardès. It adjoins the cemetery of these two villages.
These vestiges offer a rather singular and romantic vision of the feudal period. The church belongs to an association which works for its preservation and enhancement.
