Travel Guide Foix

The first traces of human presence in this town date back to prehistoric times, and more particularly in the caves of the Foix rock. Many centuries later, it is around the abbey of Saint-Volusien known in 849 and the castle built in the year 1000 that the city has developed, intimately blending its history with that of this majestic sentinel that dominates the city. The first lord to bear the title of Count of Foix was Bernard Roger, son of the Count of Carcassonne. But it was in the fourteenth century that the fate of the city was marked by a Gaston Phoebus, whose blond hair or the sun, earned him the nickname of Fébus in Occitan
