Pays Cathare

The ‘Pays Cathare’ sites have introduced new local signage with the aim of creating a distinctive identity reflecting the region's heritage. The initiative is designed to enhance the value of the 18 castles, abbeys and medieval towns, boosting the site's tourist appeal.

To preserve the authenticity of the sites, we produced a variety of discreet, elegant signs based on Jean Couvreur's design. Four types of panel were created, each playing a specific role in front of the 18 sites of interest.

Each panel was screen-printed in our workshops in two colours: gold for the first panel, highlighting the uniqueness of the site, and white for the other panels, to simplify the information provided.
