After the capture of the city by William IX of Poitiers in 1098, the pink city was surrounded by a new enclosure, presumably along the present great boulevards of Strasbourg, Arcole, Lacrosse and Armand-Duportal. This medieval fortification has recently been the subject of a restoration led by the City Architecture service. Sheltered from the rampart, the gardens were also rehabilitated. They offer 2 600 m ² of lawns and 1 300 shrubs, between the Brienne Canal and the Caffarelli-Caffarelli garden. A place where you can learn more about the history of the city and enjoy a wonderful place to relax and relax.

This promenade, in the heart of the city centre, extends the Place du Vigan, completely refurbished since 1999-2000. The national garden has thus found its old personality, with kiosks hosting traders, its children's carousel, ponds and fountain.

This association proposes to discover its model "Dream and Magic du Rail", exposed 200 m from the train station. This exceptional achievement has been introduced throughout France, and even abroad. The following figures tend to reflect: 520 m of tracks, 102 switches, 1 260 m of fiber optic, 210 light and medium voltage points, 130 km of electric wire, 1 250 characters, 170 individual houses, 20 administrative buildings… and the imaginary and magnificent railway station of Beauty-sur-Ariège. Using, always very discreet, the most modern techniques of sound, light and animation, it is a true show sound and light. This minimalist promenade in the Upper Ariège valley also passes through the castles of Foix, Miglos, Montségur, the Renowned cave, the ramparts of Tarascon, the Barrage dam and many famous sights or monuments. But you will also discover, on the occasion of your visit, a real postal car rental car that stopped his travels in 1995, these postal workers who rang letters while the train was driving. And just next, a locomotive BB 4736, built in 1934 in Tarbes and remained in service until 1995. Don't stay on the dock!

Built between 1630 and 1638, it offers a beautiful, richly decorated facade. Among the students are La Pérouse, Georges Pompidou and a young teacher, Jean Jaurès.
