In the 11th century, Cordes was just a wooded hill top whilst St Marcel, ‘La Citadelle des Nuages’ was a grand fortified town, seat of the Count of Toulouse’s Court d’Amour and an important Cathar centre. When the Pope declared Cathars heretics in the early 13th century, St Marcel became a key target for Simon de Montfort, the English mercenary, who played a prominent and extremely bloody role in the destruction of the Cathars. Not only was St Marcel an important Cathar centre, it was of particular interest as it was one of the places where the Cathars fabulous treasure was meant to be hidden. There are also legends of a miraculous stone with healing powers. Following the sacking of St Marcel, it took 3 months for the fires to burn out. All that remains of St Marcel today is a small church and a few stones. In its place, Cordes was created, now a well-known bastide town with cobbled streets and elegant medieval buildings. Now, a scene of tranquillity, Labistoul nestles amongst its domain lands between St Marcel and Cordes.
