Abstract

The article "TREASURES OF THE MINERVOIS" from France Today explores the historical and natural wonders of Minerve, a village in Occitanie, France. The village holds significance as a stronghold of the Cathars, a Christian sect from the Middle Ages, and features a sculpture called La Colombe de Lumière in memory of the Cathars. Visitors can also explore the geological marvels of the region, such as the limestone pont naturel carved by the river Cesse. Additionally, the article highlights local winemaking traditions, including the production of Muscat wines unique to the Saint-Jean-de-Minervois appellation. [Extracted from the article]
