One of the bloodiest points in the history of this area revolves around the rise and eventual massacre of the Christian Cathar religious sect in the 12th century. Tourists can visit the ruins of Cathar strongholds, and villages where crusaders conducted massacres with a trip to the beautiful and history-rich Cathar Country.

I just posted all about this cool place on my About.com site here: Cathar Country

St-Jean-de-Luz, France

Posted on April 16th, 2008 in travel by Kelby

St-Jean-de-Luz, FranceHave you ever landed in a town during your travels, and immediately thought, “I did not plan nearly long enough time here.” That was definitely my experience when I hit St-Jean-de-Luz, which wasn’t even a destination I was particularly excited about seeing. But wow. It’s just damn pretty and charming, and it has a cozy sandy beach, fab covered produce market, and year-round surfing. Oh, and there’s the food.

Find out more with my article on St-Jean-de-Luz, France.
