About

Commemorative stele for Second World War escapees from France.

The history of the Hospice de France is marked by significant events.

During the Second World War, thousands of men, women and children crossed the Pyrenean passes on foot to Spain, fleeing occupied France and Nazism. This stele, erected in 2009, is a tribute to all these people.

Previously, during the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939), the Hospice de France played a crucial role as a place of refuge for many Spaniards fleeing the war and Franco's dictatorship. Another stele, inaugurated in 2016, stands nearby in their honour.

New - The Tastes & Flavors Guide

While eating well without breaking the bank is a major concern for our fellow citizens, short supply chains are thriving in Comminges. Now more than ever, there has been a growing need for a guide that lists producers, restaurateurs, and food professionals who sell their creations directly to consumers and work with local products in an ethical manner.

From Farm to Table with Complete Transparency: The Charter

The Charter of Commitment was developed by and for professionals in partnership with the Comminges-Pyrénées Tourism Office. It highlights producers from all fields and chefs who work according to best practices, promote Comminges products, and share their respective expertise.

The guide “Goûts et Saveurs en Comminges” is not just a directory of businesses. It is much more than that. As you turn the pages, you’ll also find recipes, profiles, and interviews.
