Holiday rentals Ariège

This is a département where prehistory is still present within the caves of Niaux and the Mas d'Azil. As well as its natural and pastoral heritage, there is large number of mediaeval buildings such as the castles of Montségur and Chalabre. You might also want to visit the corrie of Cagateille, which is of glacial origin.



Sports and fishing enthusiasts can explore 5,000 kilometres of marked paths and 300 kilometres of river. Take the GR10 crossing from East to West, from Melles to Mérens-les-Vals, or take the pilgrimage route to Compostela, full of character and stretching 140 kilometres from Mirepoix to Saint Lizier. For water activities, head to the lake of Montbel in Léran or the lake of Mondély at La-Bastide-de-Sérou. Those who prefer cultural events will choose to stay in Foix for the jazz festival or in Mirepoix for the international Festival of puppets. And if you would like to travel around the world for very little money, Tarascon-sur-Ariège will invite you to dance to the sound of Latin American music.
