Playground is quite nice and there is something for the little ones as well as for the big ones. In summer, the sandbox is covered with a sun sail. However, the water on the water playground was always turned off when we were there last summer. Toilets are also available, albeit in poor condition

A small complex that you should definitely look at. Particularly interesting with small children because there is a nice playground right next to it.

The ruins of Bucherbach Castle and the foundation walls and a well-preserved wall section and part of the corner towers of the small castle complex are well preserved and are a great backdrop for e.g. B. Wedding photos. The beautifully designed children's playground behind it is well attended and offers the little visitors a great change.

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.
