Mirepoix is a beautiful French town situated in a rural part of the country. Since its creation, the town was nearly destroyed twice (by both floods and fire). It has been rebuilt and is now considered to be one of Ariege’s prettiest towns. Mirepoix’s highlight is its central square, place des Couvents, which is surrounded by medieval houses and arcades. You will be amazed by the fascinating woodwork involved in these houses. In this area of France, culture and craft industry coexist and allow you to attend great events all year round. It is the perfect place to go if you want to discover this region between the Mediterranean Sea and the Pyrenees mountains full of history.
