About our village

Medieval History and Quaint Country Charm

The Relais Mira Peis is located in the center of the medieval town of Mirepoix, in the Ariège Department of France.

Mirepoix has been a cultural and economic center of the region since the 13th century. It is renowned for having one of the finest surviving arcaded market squares in France, dating from medieval times, and for its impressive Cathedral of St. Maurice.

Today, Mirepoix is a lively and enchanting town, filled with cafés, charming restaurants, local artisan shops, traditional bakeries, cheese shops, and antique markets.
Among the must-see sights are:
The open-air Monday Market. This market happens every Monday throughout the spring and summer months and is a local legend, filling the city center with vendors of organic produce; prepared food; artisanal cheeses, honey, and cured meats; and other specialties like handmade gifts, pottery, and baskets. Sometimes you may even find a baby goat or rabbit!
The Cathedral of St. Maurice. It boasts the second-widest Gothic arch in Europe, a massive pipe organ, and stunning stained glass. The Cathedral was restored by Eugene Viollet-le-Duc himself in the 19th century, who also restored Notre Dame de Paris and Mont Saint Michel.

Regional attractions and activities

Adventure and heritage at your fingertips

The larger region, also called Occitania or the Midi-Pyréneés, is home to several UNESCO World Heritage sites including the fortress city of Carcassonne, the industrial wonder of the Canal du Midi, and multiple routes of the famed Santiago de Compostela pilgrimage.

The region is known as the heart of the Cathares (pronounced “Kat-AHR”), a Christian Gnostic sect active between the 12th-14th centuries which were persecuted during the Albigensian Crusades. Though their story is difficult, the Cathares left incredible castles perched high on mountaintops and cliffs, known as the Châteaux cathares, which are breathtaking to visit today.

From exploring charming market towns and magnificent historic sites to cycling and hiking adventures in the great outdoors, the Midi-Pyrénées region truly has something to offer every traveller.
At Le Relais Mira Peis, we know the local attractions and activities inside out and are happy to offer advice or help organise whatever interests you, whether it’s a cycling excursion, a wine tasting, or a tour of the local area.
