In the heart of one of the most beautiful villages in France, on the initiative of Michel Gasc, the Hurepel de Minerve Museum recreates the Crusade against the Cathars, when Simon de Montfort came to impose, by force and by fire, the law and the Catholic faith in Languedoc.
The Museum thus offers, in the form of slideshows, the story of this tragedy, clay knights and miniature scenery set in scenes reconstructing the painful epic of the Occitan Cathars.
The figurines are all handmade, each character, a unique piece, is highlighted thanks to the layout and lighting of this museum.
The museum is located in one of the oldest houses of the village, in a medieval street.
