Visual feast !!! is just a part of entire impression. This place is delivering amazing experience as well as creating unforgetable memories. Get your senses ready … Telling too much may spoil a mysterious charakter of this „rabbit hole”. „Alice, You have to decide, whether to get in or not”.

Lovely hotel and lovely conference rooms! Each room in the castle has its own personality, and this is refreshing to experience! Animals all around and the perfect place to host an offsite! Lovely staff and food as well

Best experience ever! The hotel is one off a kind, the decor and design off every room is unique, where ever you look something new catches the eye. The restaurant and food was great both dinner and breakfast

Meal was Good but loads of salt flakes on most things which was a shame as otherwise would have been good food. Place really quirky but I felt the owners were forcing their ‘ cool dream’ on customers. Breakfast a choice of 6 things that were fatty and sugary mostly, bar melon. Lack of choice and my wife left hungry as she couldn’t eat anything but the melon. Beds comfy though which was good .

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.
