Foix Castle

Highlight • Castle

Overlooking the city, Foix Castle is a marvel. It perfectly illustrates what a medieval fortified castle is. Don't miss a visit to its arms and armor room. It is very impressive. A stroll along its rampart walk is also worthwhile.

April 29, 2025,Foix – Château de Foix loop from Foix

The trail after the summit is good for about 1/2 mile, then degrades into a cow path through brambles, very hard going. Return is on all pacement, i wouldnt do this loop again, would cut it off closer to Foix.
