On its rocky peak, the castle of Foix and its imposing stature, dominate the medieval town. With a strategic position at the confluence of the Arget and Ariège rivers, the Ariège castle had a strategic role: to control access to the Haute Ariège valley, to monitor the low country and to protect the counts behind its high impregnable walls. It is the symbol of the power of a fiercely independent county engaged in the defense of the Cathar cause. Resisting many assaults, the castle of Foix was never conquered. During the Catholic Church's crusade against Cathar heresy, the counts of Foix, souls of the Occitan resistance, welcomed and protected the persecuted by refusing to submit to the authority of the King of France. It is the cradle of the famous counts of Foix: Gaston Fébus (1331-1391) and Henry III, King of Navarre, future King of France Henry IV.

A very beautiful viaduct, it's a bit impressive and truly unusual on a greenway. The train used to go there, now the bikes go there!

Pleasant track which allows you to avoid the main road. Be careful though, the surface is not tar, but more packed gravel and on a road bike it is not always pleasant.
