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.

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.
