  • Close to Foix,about 15 Km, south on the road to Andorra, in the next village of Tarascon,you can see this interesting theme park.
    The Prehistoric Art Park's outdoor installations show how caves are formed by water flowing over rock,and also the life on this remote age.

  • Foix is located at Midi Pyrenees,so when you visit this city,don't miss explore the mountains and see the beautiful landscapes.
    Also you can find here some nice ski resorts and good accomodations in small hotels or gites,they are the French version of bed and breakfast, along this area.

     Have visited this page since 2004. Still as lovely as ever. Foix is a lovely, quaint place, and your photographs surely capture the essence of it all. The cave seems fascinating, Manuel.
