Foix is a town in the Ariège department of the Midi-Pyrénées région, located in the foothills of the Pyrenees. The town is dominated by its medieval castle which stands on a high rock, 380 metres above sea level, at the fork where the Arget River joins the Ariège. The castle turrets and battlements form a dramatic skyline and afford splendid views over the town. Below the castle is an 11th-century church and narrow cobbled streets lined with medieval, half-timbered houses. Places to visit include the village of Montgaillard, an open-air museum that recounts bygone days with old ironworks and a sawmill and the Musee departemental de l'Ariege, an archaeological museum with military exhibits housed in the castle.
