Lunch in Mirepoix

Where I come from in the south of France (south of Toulouse in the Ariege region) we live very close to the mountains (Pyrenees) and we're surrounded by beautiful medieval towns. Seriously, there's one at every corner, with beautiful churches, town squares, castles.. they're everywhere. One of them being Mirepoix!

One of my best friends when I was 14 lived near Mirepoix, so we spent a lot of time around the square sitting at cafes, pretending we were classy French girls, but really we just loved spending most of out time on our horses getting muddy.

This past trip we took the whole family to eat at this lovely new restaurant (and hotel) called Le relais de Mirepoix for my aunt's birthday. If you ever consider visiting the region, I would definitely recommend checking out Mirepoix, it's such a beautiful town.
