Seix: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes

The Château de Seix is an interpretation centre dedicated to the mountain world and provides an overview of the past and present lives of the people in the valleys of Haut-Salat. By decree of 16 March 1994, it was added to the French register of historic monuments. The château also houses an exhibition about the ibex, a species that was reintroduced to the Ariège Pyrenees a short time ago.
