Le Village des Forges
_{in Montgailhard}

At the gates of Foix, there once was a forgotten village where activity leaders and craftsmen immerse you in the small and great history of the Pyrenees in 1900.

Meet the blacksmith at work, the bread oven, the master glassmaker, the basket maker, the writing workshop, not forgetting in the “Scios” river, the gold panner in summer.
