At the bird domain, come and learn about the biotope and observe many migratory birds thanks to the 17 observation towers of the site. The Tern, the Black-winged Stilt or the Common Snipe will no longer hold any secrets for you.

On the edge of Ariège (which gives its name to the department), the town of Saverdun, in addition to being well served by rail, is also the starting point for many excursions. Whether in the Pyrenean foothills to the west or in the beautiful plain to the east.

Saint-Martin-d'Oydes is a small commune located in the south-west of France, in the Ariège department in the Occitanie region and is part of the Community of communes "du Pays de Pamiers". Saint-Martin d'Oydes, a remarkable fortified site, is the only circular village in Ariège. This medieval shape, called "elliptical" or "circular", has remained completely intact. Its houses are grouped in a ring around the church. For a few years Tony Blair, then British Prime Minister, came to spend his family holidays in Saint Martin d'Oydes and even inaugurated the village's Tourist Office. He stayed in the 12th-century fortified castle... Its church and the Saint-Anastase fountain, a local pilgrimage site believed to be miraculous for the eyes.

This magnificent little village is located on a height. The brick terraces of the southern part of the city overlook the Pyrenees and offer splendid sunsets. Carla-Bayle owes its name to the French philosopher Pierre Bayle, born in the village in 1647. He was a scholar and a thinker mixing skepticism and rationalism. He is the author of the famous historical and critical dictionary of 1697 which announces the spirit of the Enlightenment. So much so that encyclopaedists will hail Bayle as one of their inspirations. Here is one of his famous quotes: "The more we study man, the more we know that pride is his dominant passion, and that it affects greatness even in the saddest misery." Come stroll through the streets of Carla, you won't regret it.
