The setting is exceptional! The room is magnificent but some things need a facelift, particularly the kitchen area. Concerning the beds, here too, a facelift becomes essential, furniture is outdated and not very functional.

Magnificent location for a wedding. On the other hand, the rooms are really very light and leave something to be desired!! No hot water, broken shower head and above all the alarm which goes off at night without being able to stop it immediately!! I really think that there should be a complete maintenance and overhaul of the buildings regarding the rooms!! Ceremony on Saturday July 27, 2024.

What a waste! Such a beautiful setting, so poorly maintained! How is it possible to rent a wedding hall with such a dirty kitchen? Outdated equipment, microwave, dishwasher, coffee machine unusable. The caterer had to bring all his equipment and recreate an annex kitchen so as not to take any health risks! We had to clean the outside, sweep the terraces, leaves everywhere. It was very hot this weekend, no air conditioning ok but no fan available either. No official deigned to respond to the family's complaints over the weekend. Service 0/10

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.
