About

For centuries, the fountain has been an essential part of local life. Supplied by an abundance of pure mountain water, it bears witness to the close bond between the local people and their natural environment.

Once an essential part of daily life, the fountain was an essential stopping-off point.

Once an essential part of daily life, the fountain was an essential stop-off point: people came here to get water, water their animals or simply to exchange a few words of news. As the beating heart of the village, it played an integral part in social life and the rhythm of the day.

Today, the Arlos fountain retains all its charm of yesteryear. Restored and maintained, it offers visitors a refreshing stop-off in an authentic setting, where the murmur of water accompanies the discovery of the local heritage.

Stopping off at the Arlos fountain means getting back in touch with simple gestures and a history deeply rooted in Pyrenean life. An invitation to appreciate the richness of a discreet but essential heritage.

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.
