From Toulouse to St-Bertrand-de-Comminges (Haute-Garonne)
|
|
The Via Garona is an ancient pilgrimage route to Santiago de Compostela, steeped in a rich cultural heritage. The towns and villages you will encounter, such as Portet-sur-Garonne and Saint-Julien-sur-Garonne, bear witness to a flourishing past where agriculture and river trade were at the heart of local life. Saint-Bertrand-de-Comminges, classified among "The Most Beautiful Villages of France," is famous for its Romanesque cathedral, a masterpiece of architecture that attracts visitors from around the world. The Gallo-Roman remains in Rieux-Volvestre and the charming half-timbered houses in Martres-Tolosane add a medieval touch to your journey. Each stop along this hike on the GR861 is an opportunity to discover historical monuments, ancient churches, and castles that tell the story of the region.
