Château de Lagarde

The Château de Lagarde is a ruined castle situated near the village of Lagarde, 8 km southeast of Mirepoix in the French département of Ariège. Following the Albigensian Crusade, the castle was handed to the Lévis-Mirepoix family. It was fortified but, over time, it was modified to provide a more comfortable residence.

Lac de Montbel

The Lac de Montbel is a reservoir 5 minutes from Chalabre, which is a popular location for watersports and swimming. It is located at Sainte-Colombe-sur-l'Hers on the border between the Ariège and Aude départements of southwestern France. The flooded hillsides are still evident when the water level drops, revealing tree stumps and the thick sticky clay so typical of the Ariège. On quiet hot summer days the water takes on a beautiful turquoise colour which is very photogenic.
