Tourist Attractions & Monuments Ariège

Impressive, majestic, wow... these are the words you hear when you first see this 246-meter high waterfall whose main fall is 100 meters high! It is one of the most picturesque and imposing waterfalls in the Pyrenees. Located at the bottom of the Garbet valley towards the Latrape pass, it takes 1h30 to 2h to reach the waterfall. If you go in summer, you may be disappointed because it is at the end of spring (May-June) that the waves gush out in all their beauty and power when the snow melts.

Managed by the ART + association, this gallery exhibits around ten visual artists each year, over three-week periods. You'll discover renowned artists, but also, since this year, amateurs who can rent the space, or Pamiers high school students with the Art option. The gallery is a true cultural venue, as throughout the year it also organizes concerts, workshops for young people, live shows, conferences with artists or about art... The welcome is warm and relaxed.

Right from the wooden storefront, we know we're in for a trip back in time! Hardware, grocery, hosiery... We're standing in front of the home of Maurice Souquet (a visionary in his day). In the 19th and 20th centuries, this store, which closed in the 50s, was the "hub" for peddlers, who stocked up on supplies before setting off to sell their wares on the roads and paths of the many valleys, on their way to the most remote villages. This interesting museum is entirely dedicated to them. A must-see!
