The Château de Roquefixade: A Medieval Jewel Suspended Over Ariège
Overlooking the verdant valleys of Ariège, the Château de Roquefixade is an iconic site steeped in history, offering exceptional panoramas. Perched on a dizzying cliff, just an hour from Camping Parc d’Audinac les Bains, this medieval relic is a must-visit for heritage and nature lovers.
A History at the Heart of the Cathars
Built in the 12th century, the château played a strategic role in surveillance and defense. Associated with the Cathar epic, it served as a refuge for these religious dissidents before its destruction in the 17th century. Today, its ruins bear witness to its glorious and mysterious past.
An Unforgettable Hike
Access to the château is via an enjoyable hike starting from the village of Roquefixade. The trail winds through peaceful woods and blooming meadows, with each step offering more spectacular views of the Pyrenees and the surrounding plains.
