Montségur: La
tragédie cathare

La Nef
Long
ago, the Cathars built a castle on the summit of a mountain, and this castle was also a temple and a refuge. Its walls were cliffs mounted upon cliffs, as strong and as desperate as the hearts of its inhabitants. In the land of the troubadours, Montsegur gave shelter to the most exacting purity.
But one day, barons came down from the North, crusaders of Babylon the Catholic. They burnt its flesh and left only its huge bones of stone, a twisted skeleton still crumbling today under the sand and wind of centuries.
Assasinated, Montsegur survives, a proud fortress gazing, in arrogant silence, on worlds far beyond human ken.
Like a ghost ensconced high above the Occitan countryside of France, Montsegur, solitary, hoards the memory of a long faded dream.
- Alain Bergeron
