I have just had a call from David from Cheval-Voyages and he says he is on his way to the Cathares Chateaux with a group ---- if you have read Da Vinci Code or seen the film (OK! You don't have to admit publicly that you enjoyed it!) or Kate Mosse's best seller Labyrinth, then you would want to do this ride -- to all those wickedly romantic and historic places, like Carcassonne.
And on 3 June David is off to Millau -- I am leaving the same day on a motorbike for Spain and will be travelling over the Milau viaduct as well! On horseback or on the back of a motorbike -- this Foster and Partners design is the most amazing engineering feat, and I cannot wait to see it! 
Kate Mosse: Labyrinth : Review from Publishers Weekly
Mosse's page-turner takes readers on another quest for the Holy Grail, this time with two closely linked female protagonists born 800 years apart. In 2005, Alice Tanner stumbles into a hidden cave while on an archeological dig in southwest France. Her discovery—two skeletons and a labyrinth pattern engraved on the wall and on a ring—triggers visions of the past and propels her into a dangerous race against those who want the mystery of the cave for themselves. Alaïs, in the year 1209, is a plucky 17-year-old living in the French city of Carcassone, an outpost of the tolerant Cathar Christian sect that has been declared heretical by the Catholic Church. As Carcassonne comes under siege by the Crusaders, Alaïs's father, Bertrand Pelletier,entrusts her with a book that is part of a sacred trilogy connected to the Holy Grail. Guardians of the trilogy are operating against evil forces—including Alaïs's sister, Oriane, a traitorous, sexed-up villainess who wants the books for her own purposes. Sitting securely in the historical religious quest genre, Mosse's fluently written third novel (after Crucifix Lane) may tantalize (if not satisfy) the legions of Da VinciCode devotees with its promise of revelation about Christianity's truths.
