Through its prehistoric caves (Niaux and Mas-d’Azil) and Tarascon-sur-Ariège’s prehistoric park, the region of Ariège will plunge you into 14,000 years of history.
And if you want to travel back to the Middle Age, go and visit the charming villages of Mirepoix or Saint-Lizier and the castles of Foix or Monségur.
Keep some time of your trip to have a look at all the workshops (cutlery, jewellery, pottery, glass, wood, restoration, wool, leather, …) you will find in the streets and squares of Foix and of the surrounding villages. Enjoy the diversity of artisans who recover traditional trades and model different materials inspired by that environment full of history and contrasted landscapes.
