From its impressive castle overlooking the Pyrenees to its association with notable figures throughout the centuries, Foix captivates visitors with its rich heritage.

Gaston, comte de Foix, known as Phoebus for his radiant personality and bravery, is immortalized in an exquisite engraving. His legacy lives on within these ancient walls that have witnessed countless tales of valor and chivalry. Foix Castle stands proudly atop a hilltop, guarding over the town like a sentinel from days gone by. Its imposing presence tells stories of battles fought and victories won – a testament to the resilience and fortitude of those who called it home. Francis I Phoebus was not only King of Navarre but also left an indelible mark on French history during his reign from 1469 to 1483. His influence extended beyond borders as he shaped political alliances and navigated treacherous waters with finesse. Sketches depicting Andorra transport us to another world altogether – one where rugged mountains meet azure skies and nature reigns supreme. These engravings capture the untamed beauty that surrounds Foix and remind us why it has long been a haven for adventurers seeking solace amidst untouched wilderness. Jean Froissart finds himself engrossed in reading to Gaston de Foix after supper – an intimate moment shared between friends where words weave tales that transport them far away from reality's grasp. Their bond transcends time as they find solace in each other's company.
