Château de Foix
The castle of the counts of Foix, with its high walls and three towers, stands at the confluence of the Arget and the Ariège on an imposing rocky peak that overlooks the medieval town of Foix and offers a fine panoramic view of the Pyrenean landscape.
The visit of the castle lets you discover the architecture of this monument as well as exhibitions covering different aspects of life in the Middle Ages in the county of Foix and the Ariège.
Impregnable, Foix castle is still intact. Visiting it is rediscovering the atmosphere of medieval fortresses.
