Peter Marshall's France 2 Part 2 Mirepoix, Pamiers and more of Foix

Early start via SNCF to Pamiers then by bus to Mirepoix, a stronghold of the Cathars. Look at the church and listen to the organ. See more of Mirepoix, a bastide town. Back by bus to Pamiers and have a saunter round. Then by SNCF back to Foix.
Climb to the top of the tower on the castle at Foix and get a birds-eye view. Get up very early next morning to catch a train and watch the local bakers making that lovely French bread. Gabriel Faure was a local lad.
