Answer from Marina Anikina[guru]
Go to the website of the tour operator Time-tour. We went to Spain from them. They have tours from Spain to France. Tourists traveling under these programs flew with us to Barcelona.

Answer from MM[guru]
All tour operators (for example, Coral Travel) that send tourists to Catalonia (Costa Brava, Barcelona) offer bus excursions to the French castle town of Carcassonne. It is located just over 200 km from Barcelona. There are also excursions to Andorra (not France, but also nearby :)
In general, most French attractions are beyond the capabilities of excursion buses. Here it’s easier to just take a train ticket, book a hotel for a day or two and go on your own, for example, to Marseille (Avignon, Nimes, etc.), or to the Cote d’Azur.

Answer from Bugaga[guru]
We went. there are such excursions. But they themselves are expensive.
We lived in Salou, which in my opinion is the Costa Dorado in Spain. We took an excursion to Carcassonne - the castle itself is very interesting, you won’t regret it. But the trip is very tiring, all day on the bus. We left early in the morning at 7 am, the first stop was in the French town of Perpegnan, and then Carcassonne. And we were back at the hotel at 19-20 hours.

Catharism became widespread both among ordinary peasants and among aristocrats who zealously defended the freedom of their faith. Here crusades were waged against Christians, and Catholics burned hundreds of Cathar heretics on the sacred pyres of the French Inquisition. Tour in Madrid.
