Visit on Saturday for the heritage days of this magnificent castle. Adorable and passionate owners. Patrick with all his anecdotes about the place took us back in time. Thank you to them for this pleasant moment.

We had such a perfect stay here, the castle is beautiful, the rooms spacious, and the host treats you like family. Wholeheartedly recommend spending a few nights here, while exploring the Champagne region. The castle is located in between Épernay and Troyes, and Châlons-en-Champagne is also a surprisingly nice and friendly town with some very good restaurants.

Fantastically beautiful ambience, great facilities, fantastic food personally prepared by the castle owner. This one is patient and great with kids. From a place of transit to one of the lasting impressions of the holiday. Thank you for the hospitality.

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.
