The Ariège is a popular
holiday destination for the
French, but only in high
summer. There are many
campsites that are very
quiet for the rest of the year,
some have cabins for rent
too. Apartments and gîtes
are best found using the
Internet: search the web for
'gites Ariege' and you will
find a number of sites that
allow you to book online.
There are Tourist Information
Offices in Foix, Tarascon and
Ax that are happy to find you
somewhere to stay, as well as
something to keep you busy
on a rest day.
There are several expat Brits who have
quality accommodation in the area.
