Janos made us feel very welcome indeed. The rooms were excellent, clean and beautifully presented. Montsegur is a delightful place to stay and it was a joy to stay at le Pelerin!

Le Pelerin was such a find for me! I booked in relatively last minute without knowing much about it and really feel like I lucked out. The hosts Ragnhild and Janos were incredible. So attentive, helpful, and kind. They have put their heart and soul into the place and it shows. It's beautifully designed and decorated, not to mention spotless, and they also have wireless internet which I gather is somewhat of a rarity in the village of Montsegur. If you get the chance to stay here you should take it. You will be so well taken care of.

Travelling in the Ariège has its definite charm. The way with charming places is that sometimes you can become enchanted by the places, and the people you come across. Montségur today has 80 inhabitants, there are some few places to stay, of them I believe three are listed in Tripadvisor. Upon arriving we discovered that two of those were closed. Let me give you a bit of advice, if you truly want to visit Montségur you should allow yourself the luxury of waking up to the landscape, the distinct light, the fresh sharp air, the sound of the brooks and birdsong in such a sleeping beauty of a village. No doubt there are alternatives like travelling from nearby city centres, but establish in your mind and heart where you truly want to be. Janos and Ragnhild moved to Montségur in 2005, they decided to stay. And opened up a small Auberge (or is it Chambres d`Hotes?) - with four rooms dedicated to the rest and rehabilitation of weary travellers. It is not only clean, an adjective I believe travellers in rural France will appreciate, and above all, unfortunately, suspect - but also serene. You could probably get more luxury at breakfast, but I honestly doubt it - but an effect of the place you have voluntarily visited is suggestive you could live on air alone, don´t do it, eat breakfast, especially if you are going up the pog (or pack one, there´s a kiosk in the village). I can only compare our experience with the rooms, facility and other features of a stay in a room, hotel or not, from other places we travelled through, and none of them came near our one night in Montségur, at Le Pelerin. My only regret is that I did not book a week, and I honestly and sincerely mean that. With the Simons you have the advantage of going to a hostel were the proprietors live in Montségur for most of the time, most of the hostels, there are few, were closed due to some reason or another, one of them definitely travel. Establish contact well ahead and be sincere about your needs and expectations.

I spent four nights in the room of Fire, slept wonderfully in gorgeous beds in a room decorated with old furniture and the walls painted in warm colors - the bathroom interior in tastefully rustic style. Quiet and peaceful surroundings, friendly hosts, great breakfast with freshly baked bread. Nice and clean everywhere, homely atmosphere - what more can guests look for?

Having just spent a week at Le Pelerin, I recommend it most warmly. Charming surroundings, an area with a history and a village with charm. Le Pelerin is run by a hospitable couple who creates a homely atmosphere. The beds are good, it is clean, nice and stylish.

We were a party of 8 that stayed 4 nights in the Le Pèlerin in Montségur, and had a great time. Le Pèlerin is located in two old stone buildings inside the village and is completely renovated on the inside with very nice and comfortable rooms (only 4 rooms total) as well as a living room at the guests' disposal, all at a very reasonable price. This B&B; offers fantastic surroundings, a great breakfast and a very friendly host couple that was very forthcoming and helpful with tips and planning of excursions and dinners. Our stay included trips to Mirapoix and Carcassone, rafting at the river in Foix, a great hike to the two peaks up the vally (2348 and 2364 meter high), a visit to the ruins and great dinners at La Patate Fumé and the L'Auberge Montségur. We can highly recommend both the place and the B&B;.

Le Pèlerin is a beautiful, romantic place in the most peaceful, unspoilt, picturesque village and run by a wonderful couple, Ragnhild and Janos. The rooms are nice, comortable and quiet. The surroundings are spectacular with the hills and mountains and with the Cathar castle Montségur less than an hours walk uphill from Le Pèlerin. The yard between the houses with the swifths flying by is a perfect place to spend the afternoon after a walk. It is a place for excursions as well as for quiet days in historic surroundings. The area with its limestone ground, is exciting if you have an interest in botany. Many towns and sighths to visit within reasonable distance by car. Amongst others: Monday market in Mirepoix, cave paintings in Niaux, The village Renne Le Chateau, Carcasonne. A cople of hours drive to the Mediterranian.

I spent 11 days this summer for the second time in this wonderful place. The B&B; is clean, quiet with good beds and beautiful rooms. Janos and Ragnhild know the area, and share their information generously. There are a lot of wonderful hikes to take in the area, and a lot of interesting sites and activities in the area. It is necessary to have a car if you are staying for a longer time.

The stay at Le Pelerin was excellent. Ragnhild and Janos are both very good hosts, as well as very pleasant people to be around. With comprehensive knowledge about the area, they guided us to very nice walks in the surrounding area. The town of Montsegur is a peaceful place to stay and relax. I would highly recommend it to anyone!

Le Pelerin is an extremely confortable place to stay with high quality rooms, lovely breakfest and welcoming host and hontess that willingly shares their knowledge of the area and the kathars.
