About

Listed as a Historic Monument in 1889.

A cromlech is a prehistoric megalithic monument consisting of an alignment of upright monoliths (menhirs), forming a circle of standing stones, usually circular in shape.

A cromlech is a megalithic enclosure, a type of prehistoric monument made up of upright stones arranged in a variable shape (circular, rectangular or other), delimiting an area. These constructions, dating from the Neolithic period in Europe, are much less common than dolmens or menhirs, but they bear witness to complex cultural and perhaps funerary or cultic practices. Their often-mentioned circular shape is in fact rare, and their exact function is still poorly understood by archaeologists.

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.
