Quillan - Tourism, holidays & weekends guide in the Aude
8.5
11

At 300 meters altitude, south of the department of Aude, Quillan is a real pole in the Cathar country, in the center of a mountain cirque.

Installed since 781 on the right bank of the river, this small town is the ideal place to practice outdoor sports and discover the Cathar heritage.

Come and enjoy the charms of this land of history: Romanesque church Notre-Dame (12th century), military castle (13th century), mansions, former baths rehabilitated and nowadays housing the Tourist Office...

Around Quillan, beautiful natural sites are also to discover: parade of Pierre-Lys, St Georges gorges, Galamus gorges, Cathar castles, caves and cavities...

Come walk along the Aude, hiking on the hiking trails or mountain biking. Come practice water sports (rafting, kayaking...), indulge in fishing (course in 1st category, rivers in 2nd category), or climbing. A true range of leisure for all: young and old, sports or not.
