View of the Château de Foix

Highlight • Viewpoint

Quite worthwhile for a photo, but it's not a particularly good place to take a break here. There are neither shady places nor seating. If you come by here anyway, you can stop for a moment.

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.

Impressively renovated. The museum unfortunately only in French, not even English 🤷

November 3, 2024,de ganac au col de peguere

This Sunday, the weather remains mild. So, from our village of Ganac, we gain altitude, heading towards the Col de Peguere. The view of the Pyrenees is worth the trip. A panoramic table allows you to recognize the visible peaks. Mont Vallier of course! Have a good walk.
