About

Listed as a Historic Monument.

Saint-Barthélemy Church is a remarkable example of 12th-century Pyrenean Romanesque architecture. Built using regular courses of stone, schist and sandstone, it is characterised by a tall bell tower with a spire, in the so-called Lombard or Italo-Catalan style, one of the finest in the Comminges valley.

The bell tower belongs to the family of 12th-century Romanesque mountain bell towers. It consists of three storeys, each slightly set back from the one below. There are three windows on the second storey and two on the first. The top storey is crowned by an octagonal spire covered in slate.

The bell tower is built of rough mountain stone.

Only the arcades forming the windows are carved.

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.
