The city of
Toulouse,
the well-known city of
Carcassonne
as well as the smaller cities of
Mirepoix
and
Foix
offer a great variety of mediaeval buildings and churches and the possibility to
wander in their streets. But also the many weekly markets, antiquity-, pottery- and crafts
markets as well as musical performances enjoy the visitors during the season.
Walk in the steps of the
Cathars,
the citadel
Montségur
lies nearby. The famous pilgrimage of
St. Jacques de Compostella
borders our terrain. And don’t forget to visit the famous caves of
Niaux
with their 13.000 years old cave-drawings. Let a visit to the prehistorically park in Tarascon
or a boat-excursion over the subterranean river of
Labouiche
take you back to the stone age. Or visit the enchanting
Parc aux Bambous.

Sport and other activities
|
From tax-free shopping
(Andorra)
to visiting the small boutiques in Toulouse, from fishing to para gliding, the Ariège offers a
wide variety of entertainment.
Cycling, mountain biking, canoeing, canyoning, hiking, golf, horseback riding and climbing are
just a few of the activities you can undertake. We will love to show you the secrets of the golf
sport or accompany you on a walk through the nature around Brassacou. You can use the river Ariège
for canoeing or just enjoy the artful landscape of the Pyrenees.

Art
|
Who likes to be creative can (on demand) use our small workshop to learn about pottery or
modelling clay. Or simply, inspired by the wonderful views around Brassacou, do some painting.
It is also worth your while to take a walk in the neighbourhood with your camera to capture the
beauty on photographs.

Food and drink
|
We offer our guests a copious breakfast buffet with French dainties. On demand we can treat
you in the evening with a multi-course menu, fitting with the season. Various snacks and drinks are
available. In the neighbourhood you will find many good restaurants that offer everything you can wish
for.
