Beautiful church both inside and out

Can't report the church as such, was there to hear the prison choir and for that the church was good, a really good sound in the church.

Very nice facility and church. Unfortunately, we couldn't get in there when it was closed. Since some German soldiers were buried here, including some from our family, the path led us here.

Nice church, there is nothing particularly remarkable about the place - apart from the view. Graver has not yet been on a communication course !! ? ?

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.
