The aim of this paper is to find out how the European religious traditions reflect in modern tourism. To analyze this, a specific example of Pays Cathare, a southern France's destination, is used. The first part of this paper deals with the main religions that affected the history of Europe and describes the most important religious monuments. Subsequently, it focuses on France, its religion history and situation in the domain of tourism. The next chapter explains the historic and religious background of the so-called Cathar movement and specifies the area of Pays Cathare. The last part describes the tourism in the Pays Cathare. It examines various factors of development of local tourism, main tourist's segments, history and actual management of tourism. All obtained information is then used within the compilation of the SWOT analysis, assessment of the importance of the medieval tradition of Catharism for modern tourism in the area of Pays Cathare and formulation of general conclusions that can be applied in other European destinations rich in religious traditions.
