Mirepoix is one of the prettiest villages in south-west France. Mirepoix is located near Carcassonne in Ariège Pyrenees. It has beautiful, colorful, colombage façades and has about 3100 permanent residents.
Carcassonne is a fortified medieval town founded by the Visigoths in the 5th century. It’s located in Aude department in Languedoc-Roussillon. It’s beautiful to see but unfortunately there are loads of tourists. It’s a must see all the same.
Both are very lovely. So much history! I would LOVE Mirepoix…so bright and colorful! There is so much more beauty to France than Paris!
Definitely! Everybody thinks Paris is everything but that’s not the case.
