About

An ancient marble quarry: one of the few in the world still in good condition, known for its "Roman breach" (in the township of Lez).

Votive altars and marble quarries bear witness to the Roman occupation of Saint-Béat (ex Passus-Lupi). The Roman quarry, one of the few in Europe still maintained in it’s original state, has what is known as "Roman breche" marble, where you can still see signs from the marble quarrying.

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.
