The Château de Foix overlooks the town of Foix, at the confluence of the Ariège and Arget rivers in the foothills of the Pyrenees. The site was already inhabited in prehistoric times before the existing castle was built on an older 7th century fortification.

'The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes.' ~ Marcel Proust, writer, Paris, 1871-1922.

I am honored that you have chosen one of my photographs...
