Take some time this fall
From north to south in Comminges, fall will take your breath away!
Its colorful landscapes and the Indian summer, which offers a gentle transition from summer to winter. The colors of the landscapes, the forests with their trees whose red, yellow, and green leaves promise rejuvenating walks. And of course, the Pyrenees—always beautiful and fascinating—as they prepare for winter.
Welcome to fall!
After the summer heat wave, it’s time for a little coolness!
We’re going to recharge our batteries in nature, which is gradually regaining its colors after this summer’s heat waves.
Forests, lakes, country trails… hiking, biking, and mountain biking… on Rando Comminges, pump tracks and city parks… there are outdoor activities for the whole family.
It’s really nice to take a picnic break and sample local products.
Take advantage of the many information boards scattered throughout the area and the seating areas provided there.

observe the flora and fauna
Discover this natural heritage. The show is free—you can stroll through the countryside, through the forests, and around the lakes, and witness scenes of nature that will fill you with wonder.
