Explore Occitania differently with Sudfrance.fr. Cruises, guided tours, nature getaways or relaxing escapes... countless activities and stays await you!Foix Castle, majestic on its rocky spur, overlooks the town and recalls the power of the medieval counts. Further afield, the vertiginous Montségur Castle, a key site of Catharism, seems to reach for the sky. In Mirepoix, visitors can stroll under the medieval arcades and admire the half-timbered houses. The Niaux Caves, decorated with prehistoric paintings, immerse visitors in the fascinating world of humanity’s earliest artists.
Ariège is also a land of well-being: the thermal waters of Ax-les-Thermes invite relaxation and provide a rejuvenating break, set against a mountainous backdrop where torrents, forests, and hiking trails intertwine.
When it comes to flavors, the region expresses itself with authenticity and indulgence: Bethmale cheese, mountain honeys, artisanal charcuterie, hillside wines, and the must-try apple croustade, perfectly golden and crispy. At the markets of Foix, Saint-Girons, or Tarascon-sur-Ariège, local producers share their know-how in a friendly atmosphere.
