Amazing value for so much! You essentially pay an entrance fee, €20 per person for our family to have a green bracelet, governed by the height of the people in your group; and then off you go. You can go on as many routes as you like. No limit to the number of times. Great food and drink on offer, although we took a picnic. The staff are super helpful. We had a 10 and 8 year old and they zipped round courses 1-6 very happily and spent most of the time waiting for dad to catch up! Set in stunning woodland as part of a much wider complex with loads to do. Easily a full day could be enjoyed with the high ropes and other actives on offer surrounding the lake.

A really great place to spend a couple of hours. Very nice, welcoming team. The tree routes go from easy to very hard and everything in between.

Large complex, beautifully situated in a wooded valley. Very nice operator, there is always someone helping if needed. Many different sections available in nine difficulty levels. Also out of season, September and October, open three days a week.

We stayed a night here in our motorhome with the France Passion programme. It was amazing..peaceful, clean toilets, drinking water, a lovely woodland to walk around and a 20min hike up to the village to see and walk the footbridge. The museum itself is lovely, run by very welcoming staff.

Great toy museum. Lots to look at including interactive learning for the little ones. Games room is wonderful (for all ages). Our two year old had so much to do, and we had lots of fun playing with lots of old table games. Good price too! Would recommend to all.

We didn't have time to go in to the museum, but the river beside is very fresh.

We were looking for a stop to amuse an 8 year old and we weren't disappointed. There was a selection of lovely hand crafted wooden toys for all ages to play on and to buy, but best of all was their salle de jeux - a games room full of amazing wooden games - pinball, Japanese pool and so many more.we spent all afternoon in there!

(Translated by Google) Thank you for the welcome and the information provided on the visit to Sidobre and the footbridge. This helped us a lot. (Original) Merci pour l'accueil et les informations fournies sur la visite du Sidobre et la passerelle. Cela nous a bien aidé.

(Translated by Google) Very interesting, especially the room of castle models. The story should be simplified for children through comic-book style sketches, as well as for newbies. No problem for me, I'll come back. 👍 (Original) Très intéressant, surtout la salle des maquettes des châteaux. Il faudrait simplifier pour les enfants l'histoire par des croquis genre bandes dessinées, ainsi que pour les néophytes.Pas de problème pour moi, je reviendrai. 👍

Special mention for the pretty posters on leftovers which have been placed in our home. (Original) Très bien accueillis.

I have been fascinated by the Cathars and the Albigensian crusade, and to find a wonderful museum dedicated to the subject made me so happy. The exhibits are informative using multi media resources, which enhances the experience. My daughter knew nothing about this period in French history and was surprised at what she found out. Fantastic museum 👏
Andy D — Google review
Lots of really interesting Information avaable in French and English. I think unfortunately said information isn't shown in an especially engaging manor. I'd imagine historical artifacts from the era are difficult to acquire but maps, replicas and displays would go along way to enhance a clearly fascinating subject.
Sam W — Google review
The one and only museum about the Albigeois crusade and the cathar "heresy", in reality a nice depiction of this more open minded, primitive Christian movement of the 11th century in the middle age and the influence it has on monastery life, relationship betweem church and lay people and on the creation of the inquisition and the Dominican order. Sadly the bons hommes and bonnes femmes are not here anymore to share their culture and faith.

The "Maison des Mémoires" shows not only the recent history of bourgeois life in Mazamet, but also the history of the Cathars. Very impressive the models of the cathedral castles as well as the extensive information on the upper floor of the museum, which inform a little about the life and the mental attitude of the Katharer. A visit to the museum is definitely recommendable and the city of Mazamet and the historical region are beautiful and a worthwhile holiday destination.

I have been intetested in the Cathars for many years—and while this museum did not have artifacts or much “new” information about the Cathars it is well worth visiting. I still think Montsegur is the place to visit to get the feeling of the Cathars and read about them before visiting.
Heather S — Google review
Great small museum. Carefully assembled to inform as well as to clear outdated beliefs about the Cathars and the Albigensian crusade. Written signs are in French, but the booklet for the museum is in English. There are tablets with generally brief explanations in both languages, which are WELL WORTH watching. There is one lengthy clip of a Consolamentum service. This is a society that left little physical evidence of its passing, so assembling a cohesive display took serious thought. Worth the 1.5 hour trip from Toulouse. The town is charming with nice folks and food.

Very specific subject so wouldn't interest everyone. For me it was fantastic. Well presented in both French and English. Very well organized in step by step teaching method.
