The Col d’Agnes has a slight advantage over the Port de Lers in terms of beauty. In fact, the western driveway is a feast for the eyes, ranking at the forefront of all the wonderful passes of the Ariège. And the approach from Massat or the Port de Lers boasts beautiful views of the Etang de Lers. Thanks to the variety of passes in the area, the Col d’Agnes can be easily combined with others, apart from the already mentioned Col de Port.

Notre-Dame de Sabart Chapel

Highlight • Monument

According to legend, following the victory over the Saracens at Pré Lombard in 778, Charlemagne witnessed an apparition. A lady radiant with beauty then appears and immediately disappears. At dawn, the ground is plowed and a bronze statue of Notre-Dame-de-la-Victoire emerges from the ground. Transported to the church of Foix, the statue miraculously returned to Sabart twice: “This is where Our Lady wants to be honored.” Thus was decided the erection of a chapel dedicated to Notre-Dame-de-la-Victoire. The chapel that we can currently see has its origins in a Romanesque church rebuilt in 1104 on a Carolingian church partly destroyed in 865. But it was largely remodeled in the 16th and 19th century. The facade has some granite stones from the 11th century, the remaining bell tower-façade copy only dates from 1842 and the crenellated keep is only from 1870. Having thus resisted numerous destructions, the chapel became an emblematic monument of the Pyrenean region. Sabarthès, in the upper Ariège valley. Even today, an important pilgrimage is held there in September each year.
