SAINT-BERTRAND-DE-COMMINGES
Saint-Bertrand-de-Comminges is a veritable open-air museum. As you stroll along its cobbled streets, you’ll be charmed by the majestic Sainte-Marie cathedral. The village, with its medieval ramparts and gates, transports you back to a time when time seemed to pass differently. Roman ruins and archaeological sites tell the ancient story of this region, once a thriving city of the Roman Empire. You’ll also discover the Saint-Just basilica in Valcabrère, another witness to this rich past.
The walk, which starts from the car park in the upper part of the village, takes in the upper town, with Sainte-Marie cathedral as its highlight, the lower town, which was the suburb of the town in the Middle Ages, the archaeological site, which reveals impressive remains from the Gallo-Roman era, and Valcabrère, including its basilica, which is a pure gem of Pyrenean Romanesque art.
