The La Serre campsite is located near the Pyrénées Ariégeoises Regional Nature Park, whose superb scenery, can be admired whilst on a hiking or mountain biking trip.
The Ariège department has numerous caves, with or without prehistoric wall art, such as Niaux, Lombrives, the largest in Europe, or even the Labouiche underground river. They also have a significant historical heritage as, for example, with the Léran, Montségur, Puivert, Lagarde and Foix castles.

A delightful medieval town with timber-framed houses and the Saint-Maurice cathedral restored by the renowned architect Eugène Viollet-le-Duc, a very large market takes place here every Monday. You can stock up on cheeses with pepper, curry and basil, Saucissons de Sanglier (dry-cured boar meat sausage with typical game flavours) or porc noir (superior quality pork made from pasture-fed pigs), honey, summer vegetables and local beers.
