We are 4km from the town of Foix with its main line station (trains to Toulouse, Barcelona, Bordeaux and Paris), large weekly market, numerous shops, bars and restaurants and watched over by its imposing 1000 year-old hilltop castle. The area is noted not just for its spectacular mountain scenery but also for its prehistoric caves and other major tourist attractions such as the medieval city of Mirepoix, the ski-slopes and thermal baths at Ax-les-Thermes, and the Cathar chateau at Montsegur. The pretty village of Montgailhard itself benefits from extremely well-reputed schools, church, Post Office/bank, pharmacy, boulangerie, restaurant, take-away pizza shop (of course!) and hairdressers. It lies just 2km from 3 major supermarkets, DIY store, garden centre, petrol stations and much more. The area hospital is 12 minutes north along the N20.
