Very beautiful church with an architectural style a little different from what we are used to seeing. There is also a lovely fresco inside which depicts ancient inhabitants. Otherwise the surroundings of the church are not bad either with beautiful cypresses and a work of art further down. To pray the place is very quiet, there are churches where this is unfortunately no longer the case. In short, a beautiful monument to be appreciated in all its splendor.

Quite peculiar building because it perfectly preserves its wooden roof. The frescoes and details of its interior draw your attention, transporting you to medieval times.

Very nice little Catholic church, we went to visit it at the end of the day and the stained glass windows made the atmosphere inside very calm. From the outside, the church is also very beautiful, however I find that the town hall could highlight it even more.

Very beautiful church located in the town of Clisson in Loire-Atlantique. This building in the center of the town is really in its place in this fortified place. The interior is just very beautiful, the nave beautifully painted, and the framework of the ceiling is really very well worked. This is a place you have to come and visit if you are in the area. The people of this city are lucky to have a beautiful religious building to meditate.

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.
