This museum has a lovely garden and a fantastic collection of fine arts. I'd definitely recommend stopping by. Although you can find a lot of the art on display online nothing beats seeing it in person.

Was only 2€ for a student ticket. So many different exhibitions, would definitely recommend for you to see!

Contained but well-curated 19th and 20th Century collection. Also, the garden is marvelous and you don’t need a ticket to visit it. Excellent spot for a quick visit, and free with the Bordeaux City Pass.

Excellent, exquisite and quite beautiful. The lighting in some of the spaces is sometimes a bit off but I bet that will change if they had more space. There are three buildings included in the ticket. I recommend stopping at Rimon restaurant when going to the third building.

With the same ticket you can visit the 2 wings + art gallery (2min walk). Is a small collection, so is a great visit if you don’t have much time. The gardens are also lovely. Recommended ;)

Château de Foix

The Château de Foix dominates the town of Foix. An important tourist site, it is known as a centre of the Cathars. Built on an older 7th-century fortification, the castle is known from 987. In 1002, it was mentioned in the will of Roger I, Count of Carcassonne, who bequeathed the fortress to his youngest child, Bernard. In effect, the family ruling over the region were installed here which allowed them to control access to the upper Ariège valley and to keep surveillance from this strategic point over the lower land, protected behind impregnable walls.

In 1034, the castle became capital of the County of Foix and played a decisive role in medieval military history. During the two following centuries, the castle was home to Counts with shining personalities who became the soul of the Occitan resistance during the crusade against the Albigensians.
