The most populated commune in Ariège, Pamiers is located around sixty kilometers from Toulouse and around twenty kilometers from Foix.
Pamiers has an interesting civil and religious architectural heritage (17th-18th century). You can't miss the Saint-Antonin Cathedral and its impressive red brick bell tower, in the Toulouse style. We won't forget to mention the Notre-Dame-du-Camp church and its carillons, the Cordeliers Tower and its octagonal bell tower as well as the Tower of the Mint, the former watchtower of a 15th century mint.
In terms of gastronomy, you can taste the local cassoulet made, among other things, from cocos de Pamiers, round beans with a unique flavor.
Pamiers is a city with both an oceanic and mountainous climate. Winters are therefore mild and snow appears around January. Severe heat waves are rare, but thunderstorms are frequent in spring and autumn.
The natural heritage around Pamiers is quite rich with walks, hikes (on foot, on horseback or by bike), sports and leisure activities (tree climbing, climbing, etc.), water sports (canoeing, paddle boarding, fishing, etc.) and even theme parks.
