This self-guided audio walking tour takes you inside the engineering of Europe's largest medieval fortress, from Roman foundations to the siege that brought down the Cathars. You will walk the spaces between the walls where invaders were trapped, stand where Dame Carcas fooled Charlemagne with a single pig, examine how arrow slits gave defenders a lethal advantage, and end at the Basilica of Saint Nazaire with its remarkable stained glass. The tour plays on the Tourific app (iOS and Android), works entirely offline once downloaded, and is available in nine languages. Start anytime, pause whenever you like, and go at your own pace, no fixed schedule, no group to keep up with. Over 20,000 travelers have used our self-guided tours.

The Delicate is distinguished by a subtle approach to wine & chocolate pairings, far from overly sweet or demonstrative tastings. Wines are selected for their freshness, aromatic precision and pure expression of the grape variety, while artisan chocolates are chosen to accompany and reveal the wine, without ever dominating it. Here, chocolate does not mask wine: it raises it. Each pairing is designed as a delicate balance between texture, intensity and aromas, offering an elegant, harmonious and accessible tasting, even for novices. The experience emphasizes understanding of the chords, taste pleasure and finesse, in a friendly and intimate format. It is a gourmet but refined tasting, ideal for those who wish to discover wine differently, with curiosity and elegance.
