DOMAINE DE VALMIRANDE
16 km

DOMAINE DE VALMIRANDE

Park and gardens. A real arboretum with more than 180 species. Stables and tack rooms among the most beautiful in France. Concierge service at the entrance of the estate. Remarkable elements: statues, sculpture, factory, bridges, fountain, lake, cave. THE INTERIOR OF THE CASTLE CANNOT BE VISITED. Open from Tuesday 14/07 to Sunday 30/08. Wearing of the mask is compulsory. There will be no visit of the Chapel (too small to respect the social distance). The view that amazes. The Château de Valmirande, built by Baron Bertrand de Lassus, is an ex-nihilo creation of the end of the 19th century. In 1892, he acquired 10 plots of land in one piece, with a surface area of about 41 hectares, in order to build the castle, surrounded by a landscaped park. The design of the château was entrusted to Louis Garros, an architect from Bordeaux. For the park, Baron de Lassus called upon the Bülher brothers, creators of the park of the "tête d'Or" in Lyon, the Borély park in Marseille and the Talleyrand property in Valençay... In 1902, the castle was extended to the east by a chapel whose stained glass windows, marbles and the Sacred Heart of L. Barrias can be admired. In 1912, the landscape gardener René Édouard André inserted two French-style flowerbeds: one to the north of the castle, the other to the south from which one can discover the view of the Pyrenees mountain range so loved by Bertrand de Lassus. The castle, a private residence, cannot be visited. Real arboretum of more than 180 species.

LE SITE DE SAINT-BERTRAND-DE-COMMINGES/VALCABRÈRE
16 km

LE SITE DE SAINT-BERTRAND-DE-COMMINGES/VALCABRÈRE

A major stopover on the roads to Compostela, the Grand Site Saint-Bertrand-de-Comminges/Valcabrère offers a remarkable archaeological and monumental heritage. A crossroads of gentle itinerancy, the site is an ideal place for cycling and walking. Ancient Roman city, Lugdunum Convenae was a prosperous city of several thousand inhabitants at the center of an important communication link. It had the attributes of an important Roman city: theater, temple, forum, thermal baths and a vast market. The subsoil of the site of Saint-Bertrand-de Comminges/Valcabrère reveals today its rich ancient heritage. The imposing cathedral of Sainte-Marie is the witness of the ancient bishopric of the Middle Ages. Its cloister open on the hills of the Pyrenean foothills is a place full of charm. The choir of stalls and the organ, both Renaissance, are the other must-sees of the visit. Another flagship monument of the site, the Romanesque basilica of Saint-Just-de-Valcabrère, isolated in the middle of the fields, is particularly unusual. Built on the site of a Roman necropolis, it is largely built with stones from the same necropolis. The cathedral and the basilica, as well as the early Christian basilica and the chapel of Saint Julien, located in the lower town, are listed by UNESCO as part of the Ways of Santiago de Compostela. Crossed by the GR861-Via Garona and the GR78-Voie du Piémont, the site is the starting point for many walks and hikes without forgetting the Garonne cycle path for cycling lovers. On the square in front of the cathedral, you will find at Les Olivétains-Haute Garonne Tourisme all the information for the visit of the site, the territory and the department. Guided tours for groups. Temporary exhibitions. Bookshop-Boutique. The archaeological museum, open in the summer, presents temporary exhibitions relating to the archaeological history of the site and the territory.

TILIA

The 12-person gite offers dormitory accommodation (sleeps 8) as well as a large private family room (sleeps 4) and two bathrooms. During the warmer months, the Gîte Tilia welcomes hikers, cyclists, workers and travellers passing through. Each year we have continued to renovate and equip the 90m2 gîte so that we can offer quality tourist accommodation at a low price. Over four seasons, we've noticed that women and LGBT+ people don't always feel comfortable in mixed dormitories. In fact, as we only have one dormitory, we haven't always been able to promise a safe space when asked. That's why we'd like to tell you how our project has evolved, in line with our values and the needs we've identified. A more suitable and cosy space. With a view to reopening in 2025, we are going to reorganise the space so that we have a larger, more welcoming dormitory, as well as a private room that can accommodate a couple/family or a small group of friends. A safer space for women and LGBT+ people. We would like to make our space available for mixed periods for women and LGBT+ people, so that we can welcome them in a more inclusive, respectful and secure facility. To get a better idea of the demands and needs of this target audience, we have prepared a short questionnaire: https: //forms.gle/awbVgun4YxJz1xzi8 (feel free to share). An offer for associations and SSE companies. We would also like to adapt the spaces to accommodate groups and associations with social and solidarity economy values, to enable them to 'go green' under the right conditions.
