Our tours
Barinca Travel & Tourism is an official ambassadeur professionel du tourisme. Would you like to know more about this area and its history? Then let us guide you through the Languedoc-Roussillon/Midi-Pyrénées, and learn all about its culture, the backgrounds and the lesser known locations. Below you can find several of our tours which we have designed, but you can always create your own itinerary.
If you have special wishes, then we will try to meet your demands. For example, many people ask for a special tour around the enigma of Rennes-le-Chateau, to experience the exact locations and facts which are connected to this story. They are not so easily found in a travel book. This also goes for many other sites, which will certainly have more meaning when you hear the inside stories.

 

There is no minimum number of people, it can range from a single person, a couple or a group, because we are doing tailor made tours as well as tours with smaller or larger groups.

If you have your own transportation, you can hire a guide from 50 euros a day, who will bring alive the history and culture of Occitania during a tour.
If you do not have a car, then we can arrange a car with chauffeur, or, with larger groups, a (mini) bus.

Would you like to book an excursion with a guide, then send us an e-mail with your wishes.

If you book one of our tours, we advise you to book your accommodation in or near Quillan. This picturesque village is situated in a central part of Pays Cathare and is therefore very suitable as a base for our tours.



 
 

Galamus & Fenouillet
In the morning we will visit the beautiful hermit monastery of Galamus, which seems to be glued to the rockface. A special experience!

In the afternoon we see the chapel of the Notre Dame de Laval and the remains of the castles of the Fenouillet, beautifully situated in a gorge in ancient Templar territory.


The Pyrenees
Today we drive through Lavelanet towards Tarascon-sur-Ariège. Here we visit the cave of Lombrives, the biggest cave in Europe, or the Prehistoric Park Pyrénée (your choice).

In the afternoon we journey through the magnificent Pyrenees to the picturesque town of Ax-les-Termes. And, what does Hercules have to do with the Pyrenees?


Rennes-le-Chateau
Today we visit the so called Templar valley. We visit Rennes-le-Chateau and make a lovely tour through the valley, with a walk to the famous Devil's Chair. The programme today is variable, and can be adapted to your interests. This part of the Corbière is so full of surprises!
If you know nothing at all of the mystery of Rennes-le-Chateau, then we have an introduction tour for you!


Haute Vallée
This introductionary tour through the Haute Vallée is a favourite with people who are here for the first time. We visit the abbey ruins of Alet-les-Bains, Esperaza, we taste some wine at the Domaine St. Jacques and see the lovely village of Campagne-sur-Aude, which was founded by the Knights Templar in the 12th century.
