Beautiful place to visit

An excellent place if you are ok with a simple but very affordable room in the hotel wing of the monastery. Very clean and quiet place with stunning view over the city. The breakfast is very good.

Beautiful and seen place. The church is a must see, the garden also. The cafe is big and was very busy. But stunning views. A great place to either meet a friend for a coffee or to contemplate.

We went there for a conference with my husband and our two toddlers. We have a good attention, and they provide us want we need. I woul say is family friendly, but need more playground or something for kids.

By far the best hotel in Fulda and surroundings! The location is perfect, especially when you have a room overlooking the city and the breakfast is good. The rooms are in the monastery itself, which is beautifully kept alive, with monks still living there. The walk down to the city is a long one, but worth it. I wouldn't think of another place to stay in Fulda.

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.
