-BOX CATHARS (3 DVD + CD + 10 Photos + Booklet)

Eleven years dedicated to research. Eleven years devoted to exploring the soul and the mysteries of Cathar society, a society that drew its resources from the heart of Occitan civilisation… This is what has always driven Christian Salès and the group OC in their creative work. Three DVDs, one CD, a book and ten panoramic photos transport us back to the days of the Cathars and their "good men" who risked their lives to glorify the notion of humanism that we know today.

The classic documentary "CATHAR Secrets & Legends" traces out the history of the Cathars in the form of a fictionalised fresco featuring interviews with international specialists on Catharism. This document is complemented by: the spectacular show "OC CATHARS, the Crusade"; a CD comprising the 17 most poignant songs by the group OC; a large-paged book; and a portfolio containing 10 photographs of Cathar country as seen from the sky.

The luxury boxed set of the group OC's work is quite simply one of the finest tributes to the history of the Cathars and of Occitania in general.

Experience the Call to the Crusade, the Massacre of Béziers, the Siege of Carcassonne and Cathar rites... just like the populations of 13th-century Languedoc experienced them. Thrill to the sound of entrancing music by the Groupe OC, and stride through the corridors of Occitan history.

"The site is gorgeous and the show quality. You'll be immersed in Southern society of the thirteenth century, the troubadours meet, listen to the sermons of the church and witness to terrible fights and learn the history of Occitan land"
