Along the River Ariege
France > Pyrénées > Eastern > Along the River Ariège
The first clear herald of the approaching Mediterranean, whether you're coming from the western Pyrenees or heading south from the major transport hub of Toulouse, is the Valley of the Ariège, thorny scrub and white eroded limestone cliffs beginning to make their appearance from Tarascon onwards. Transport is no problem as long as you stick to the valley, but for side trips – into the Couserans and to Montségur – you really need a car.
Pages in section ‘Along the River Ariège’: Foix, Tarascon, Into the Couserans, Ax-les-Thermes, Lavelanet, Montsegur, Mirepoix.
