Louise from Carmaux,
Nous avons passé 2 nuits au gîte de Montcabirol. C'était vraiment super, c'est un lieu ou l'on est vite détendu.
Katie est vraiment très gentille, elle s'est adapté pour nos retard à l'arrivée et au départ, nous la remercions.
Merci pour tout et à bientôt j'espère.
Restaurants, food & wine
There are many fantastic restaurants in and around Mirepoix serving great local food. Here are a few of our current favourites:
Le Clos Saint Martin
This fantastic restaurant is located close to us in Coutens. It has a beautiful garden to sit out and relax over lunch but it is also very nice inside. The food is fantastic and there is a good choice.
Saint Maurice
This family-friendly restaurant is situated in the square in Mirepoix and serves a great selection of food throughout the day.
Prelude
This great restaurant takes great pride in serving food from local producers. It has a lovely shaded outside space with views over the square.
L'Autre JardinThis restaurant is tucked away but has a pretty private garden for dining. The menu is small but the food served is of high-quality. Each Friday they serve a Sushi menu which is delicious. It is advisable to make a reservation.
Le Petit Bouchon
This restaurant is situated on the main square in Mirepoix. The menu offers a great selection of local specialities along with an expansive choice of burgers!
Le Casti
Another restaurant on the main square with different lunchtime and dinnertime menus. At lunch the menu is small but the food is great, but Le Casti comes alive in the evening when they serve great cocktails and tapas food. They do not offer a separate children's menu.
La Flambée
La Flambee, situated just off the square has proved to be a favourite with our guests. This place has a wide menu choice, including a big selection of pizzas which you can also take-away. In summer it is advisable to reserve a table as the outside space is quite small.
Relais de Mirepoix & No8 Restaurant & Bar
This is a beautiful restaurant perfect for special occasions. The menu de jour served at lunchtime is really good value at 25 € per person. In the evening they offer a tapas menu which is served in the restaurant and beautiful courtyard in front of the restaurant.
Activities
If you're looking for adventure you've come to the right spot. Our region is an outdoor lover's playground with plenty of activities to appeal to every age group. And the best part? It's all on our doorstep. Here are our current favourites:
HIKING
There are hundreds of kilometres of hiking and cycling paths right across Ariege and Aude. Simply walk out of our gates and you’ll come across idyllic walking and cycling routes through some of the finest countryside.
La Voie Verte
This 38km bike and foot path created on a former railway line connects Mirepoix and Lavelanet, the scenery is beautiful and you get to walk through some pretty villages.
The Path of the Winemakers Huts
At the foot of the Pic de Brau, located near Magrie, this walk takes you through the vineyards and huts of winemakers who watch over this place which is steeped in history.
Montsegur
If you are feeling energetic you can visit Montsegur, a small village with its castle ruins set high on a rocky hilltop behind the village. The climb is also rewarded by some spectacular views.
Roquefixade
The Château de Roquefixade is a ruined Cathar castle built on a cliff overlooking the picturesque village of Roquefixade. There are records of a castle on the site going back to 1180, though the present ruins are more recent. A castle on this site provided refuge for Cathars at the time of the Cathar wars.
You can climb up to the ruins and will be rewarded with views that include the Ariege mountains, the Pyrenees, Montsegur, Les Corbieres and Le Lauragais.
The walk is well sign posted. This walk from Roquefixade village square to Chateau de Roquefixade should take about 25 minutes.
Start from Roquefixade village square. Walk up a well maintained gravel track. From the track you will reach a grass verge on the right. Walk up the steps. Continue on the path through trees and scrub. The Chateau should always be on your right. You will reach the ruins of the outside walls. Walk through these walls and follow the small path that leads you to the Chateau. Care should be taken on this path as it can be slippery.
Once inside the Chateau you can explore the ruins and see fantastic panoramic views.
There are 12 walks of varying lengths around the chateau, for more details click here.
For a longer walk ( about 4 hours) click here.
Chateau de Queribus and Chateau de Peyrepertuse
Two chateau’s which require a little stamina to reach; Chateau de Queribus is a 14th century tower perched on a craggy outcrop with panoramic views from its gorgeous terrace and Chateau de Peyrepertuse is a ruined fortress that sits on a ridge 800m high.
CYCLING
Our region is the perfect location for cyclists with its mountains, picturesque canals and stunning gorges. Throw in vibrant towns and peaceful countryside to the mix and you have the ideal cycling destination.
There are a couple of big cycling races taking place in the region this Summer. Stages 11 - 15 of the Tour de France all take place in the region and the Figure of Hate Sportive 'the most brutal, beautiful cycling race in Sang et D'Or' takes place on 18 August in Axat.
