View of Lordat castle

Highlight • Other

From the top of its spur overlooking the Ariège valley at a height of 965m, Lordat is considered, with its two enclosures, as one of the largest medieval fortresses in the former county of Foix.
Of earl then royal rank, Cathar den, built in several phases, it is mentioned in writings from 1030 and was occupied from the 11th to the 17th century.
It offers a remarkable panorama of the bottom of the Ariège valley.

View of Luzenac

Highlight • Viewpoint

In this bend, the Corniche road offers a panoramic view of the small town of Luzenac and the Ariège valley.
In addition to its football club which came to light by obtaining the right of access to League 2 on the ground in 2014, access ultimately refused due to the absence of a ground meeting national standards (Luzenac remains to this day the smallest town in France to have succeeded in this sporting feat), the city has the particularity of housing the largest talc quarry in the world, ensuring 10% of world production. From the hillsides you can see the processing plants located in the town of Luzenac.
