A large garden centre with lots of good quality plants, garden equipment and various other ornaments, pots, etc. Good service and good quality. The car park is quite small and gets crowded during the weekends abs holidays.

Very nice place to find probably any plant you could think of for your garden, balcony or window shelf :) a bit on expensive side though... For example 6x strawberry plants are 99DKK

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.
