The canals (listed as Historic Monuments), derived from the Ariège river, have surrounded the town since medieval times. With a defensive vocation, they also supplied numerous mills and multiple craft activities, including those linked to the pastel industry (dyeworks). It is certain that the installation of the Factory of Pamiers, in 1817, is linked to this driving force. During a pleasant walk along the canals, you will discover two series of explanatory panels, one which presents the history of each bridge, the other on the theme of industrial heritage (with game terminals and a 1916 classified as a Historic Monument). A game booklet for children (from 8 years old) and older children accompanies you in a fun way to discover this heritage. Game booklet available at the tourist office, or for download here! Free access, every day, all year round.
