CROMLECH DU PORT DE PIERREFITE

BOURG-D’OUEIL

About

The Port de Pierrefite is also known as Peyrahita or Pèira-Hita (standing stone).

The cromlechs had a funerary function, but it is also possible that they served as a place of worship and an observation post for the Milky Way.

The cromlech at Port de Pierrefite has a white menhir at its centre, a block of marble made from saccharoid limestone which, judging by its geological nature, comes from the Saint-Béat-Lez area.

Its silhouette stands out from the valley.

Vaguely anthropomorphic, it could evoke a woman wearing the traditional hood, or a petrified shepherdess (or shepherd) with her dog and sheep.

Legend has it that fairies (hadas) and their children (hadeths) came to dance around him at night.

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.
