On its rocky peak, the castle of Foix and its imposing stature, dominate the medieval town. With a strategic position at the confluence of the Arget and Ariège rivers, the Ariège castle had a strategic role: to control access to the Haute Ariège valley, to monitor the low country and to protect the counts behind its high impregnable walls. It is the symbol of the power of a fiercely independent county engaged in the defense of the Cathar cause. Resisting many assaults, the castle of Foix was never conquered. During the Catholic Church's crusade against Cathar heresy, the counts of Foix, souls of the Occitan resistance, welcomed and protected the persecuted by refusing to submit to the authority of the King of France. It is the cradle of the famous counts of Foix: Gaston Fébus (1331-1391) and Henry III, King of Navarre, future King of France Henry IV.

quiet route, rolling towards Foix, steeper towards Saint Martin de Caralp

Nice views, but at the end of the path at the intersection with the forest path, it is better to go back down the forest path instead of turning right because the path becomes completely unusable, even by mountain bike in my opinion (overgrown with vegetation on the descent)

A very beautiful viaduct, it's a bit impressive and truly unusual on a greenway. The train used to go there, now the bikes go there!

A very nice cafe where you can stop for a coffee or a soda. You can also eat a little something to regain energy.
