Time Travel Weekend

A weekend to step back in time! Stroll through a medieval city, relive the skills of yesteryear, and immerse yourself in captivating stories.

Day 1: Medieval village and museum visit

Visit to the medieval town of Saint-Lizier

To begin this magnificent weekend, head to Saint-Lizier . This small town with its two cathedrals reveals an exceptional heritage: thousand-year-old frescoes, a Romanesque cloister, the bishops' treasury, an 18th-century pharmacy, not to mention the impressive Bishops' Palace…

At midday we recommend you take a trip to La Grange de la Cité , an unmissable farm restaurant, or to Le Carré de l'ange, a gastronomic restaurant that is worth it, if only for the view… and it's delicious too!

Visit to the Aristide Bergès Museum

In the afternoon, explore this former paper mill, a listed historical monument, where every machine tells a story. Welcome to the Aristide Berges Museum . Follow the manufacturing process alongside passionate former workers, guardians of a unique expertise. Nearby, you'll find the Freedom Trail Museum , which recounts the history of the smugglers of the Couserans region, and the 1900 School, where you can experience school life as it once was.

For the night, put down your suitcases in the guest rooms of Jardin de Moulis ! With a smiling welcome, and the taste of our valleys on their plates.

Day 2: Discovering a marble quarry and local know-how

Discovery of the Balacet marble quarry

After a good night's sleep, head towards the Balacet marble quarry . Enjoy a pleasant walk along the workers' path leading to the quarry. Between vestiges of the past and a wild panorama, discover a site unique for its straight terraces and spiral sawing.

Visit to the workshop of one of the last clog makers in France.

To end this weekend in style, head to the Haut-Salat valley to discover one of the last clog makers in France. Julien opens the doors of his workshop and passionately shares the secrets of making the famous Bethmale clog.
