In Gascon, Mirepoix is called “mirepech”, from “mire” to look and “pech” to summit.
The village dates back to the 15th century, around the castle built at that time. Originally, it belonged to the Pardailhan family, then later bought by the Mirabeau family and finally sold to the Batz family.
The village is mainly agricultural and located in the “Haut Armagnac” appellation area where the wine-growing tradition remains.
Batz Castle (15th-16th century): bought by the Batz family in 1761, of which d'Artagnan is one of the most illustrious descendants. It is a large stone building. Inside is a remarkable stone staircase with a beautiful entrance door.
The Church of Saint John the Baptist: inside, housed in an 18th-century frame and adorned with a royal crown offered by Louis XV to the Lord of Batz, is a painting representing Saint John the Baptist.
