Carla-Bayle Village and View of the Pyrenees
Highlight • Settlement
Carla-Bayle owes its name to the French philosopher Pierre Bayle, born in the village in 1647. He was a scholar and a thinker mixing skepticism and rationalism. He is the author of the famous historical and critical dictionary of 1697 which announces the spirit of the Enlightenment. So much so that encyclopaedists will hail Bayle as one of their inspirations.
Here is one of his famous quotes:
"The more we study man, the more we know that pride is his dominant passion, and that it affects greatness even in the saddest misery."
Come stroll through the streets of Carla, you won't regret it.

Sito fortificato circolare con al centro la chiesa
Highlight • Other
Saint-Martin d'Oydes, a remarkable fortified site, is the only circular village in Ariège.
This medieval shape, called "elliptical" or "circular", has remained completely intact.
Its houses are grouped in a ring around the church.
For a few years Tony Blair, then British Prime Minister, came to spend his family holidays in Saint Martin d'Oydes and even inaugurated the village's Tourist Office. He stayed in the 12th-century fortified castle...
Its church and the Saint-Anastase fountain, a local pilgrimage site believed to be miraculous for the eyes.
