Works of art are installed in the middle of nature, on a hiking trail, for the pleasure of young and old curious. This walk invites you to take a close and artistic look at the natural environment. The artistic creation was entrusted to Coline Vergez, a local artist already well known in Simorre. His reflection on rural art and environmental concerns lead him to work with local artists and artisans for the realization of his 5 works and the signage of the course, using sustainable materials and/ or recovery. Collaborations: Jean-Michel Carcy, ironman of art in Seissan realized the arrows, Kriss Fabr'Hic, artisan of art recycler in Biran created the birds, Crhistophe Moine "Xof" recuperist diverter has realized the "Cycloraptosaurus", Aliénor Rajade glass artist in Simorre has realized "Insects in light", Jeff Cervera, cabinetmaker in Simorre has directed "La Pause des deux horizons", Stéphane Vincent carpenter of marine in Simorre, has realized "L'oeil du cocon", Juju and Dédé (MH Services) in l'Isle-en-Dodon have realized "The flight of flavors".

The road to freedom is a historic route. The Couserans, which borders Spain, has been a strategic crossing point since time immemorial, particularly during the darkest hours of our history. History of the road to freedom : After the German offensive of May 1940 and the division of France into two parts occupied zone in the North and a free zone in the South, many civilians and soldiers, fleeing a world of persecution, imprisonment and executions that was inseparable from Nazi barbarism, took refuge as soon as they could in this free zone, synonymous with hope. Their common denominator was the vital need to leave France and reach Spain by crossing the Pyrenees, either simply out of an instinct for survival, or to resist inexorably the unbearable oppression. Nearly 3,000 people - 2,506 men and 158 women - crossed the Spanish border through the Couserans during the Second World War. Among the various routes, one of the most emblematic and representative is the Chemin de la Liberté, already mentioned above, linking Saint-Girons to Sort across the Pyrenees, via Mont-Valier.

The Ingres museum showcases two illustrious Montalbanese: Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres and Antoine Bourdelle . This brick building, overlooking the river, is Ingres Bourdelle museum an emblematic place of Montauban. Practical information: health pass compulsory from 03.08.2021 Housed in the old episcopal palace, the Montauban museum was created in 1820. But it was in 1867, upon the death of Ingres, that the establishment took on its identity and its development: the museum then inherited all of the studio works of the famous Montalbanian painter and took the name of Ingres Museum. Enlarged, modernized, digitalized ... the museum is today spread over 2,700 m2 with new spaces, enhanced accessibility, a new museography, a sumptuous conservation cabinet housing Ingres ' drawings, an entire floor dedicated to the Bourdelle's work, magnificent rooms for temporary exhibitions, a tea room / boutique / bookshop ...

Throughout the year, activities for young people are offered: game booklet, internships, museum holidays, my birthday at the Ingres Bourdelle museum, educational service workshops.

Small Italian theater with 550 seats, nestled in the heart of the city ... A first room preceded the current building, the city having built in 1792 a space until then dedicated to the game of palm to turn it into a theater. In the face of popular success, it soon proved too small. The architect Fragneau was then commissioned to rebuild it: he endowed the new building with a neoclassical facade all brick, crowned with a large triangular pediment. The capacity of the new hall, opened in 1849, was 528 spectators spread over four levels. Access was then through the rue de la Comedie, inconvenient because narrow. This situation will last until 1931. Thanks to the subsidies paid by the City of Paris to rebuild Montauban after the terrible floods of March 1930, a new facade was built, opening on the place Lefranc de Pompignan built in the late nineteenth century . The architects Jannin and Olivier composed a monumental entrance showing the elements of the Place Nationale (brick, semicircular arches, pilasters with projections, mirandes) and enhanced by four bas-reliefs by the sculptor André Abbal: La Musique, La Danse, La Comédie and Poetry.

Coralie, a sophrologist, and Michel, a portrait painter, offer you two rooms in their wellness house in the village of Astaffort.

In the commune of Astaffort, this character house with its lovely wooded garden and large swimming pool is ideal for getting together with family or friends. The 250 m² building is adjacent to the owners' house.

This artistic project was born out of the desire of the ‘Food’ collective of the Bouche A Oreille cooperative to bring art to the ‘village kitchen garden’. The idea was not just to bring gardeners, villagers and visitors into contact with artistic works, but for them to be a vehicle for questioning and reflecting on the environment in which they are displayed: the kitchen garden. The artistic work of Coline Vergez, scenographer, is always a witness to the environment in which it takes place. She seeks to highlight and question it, while integrating her pieces within it. In this way, the works fit into a logic of harmony between materials, images that make sense and/or their utility. She created her first work ‘MMMMH!’ in the village of Simorre, as well as 5 ½uvres that make up the Sentier à p'Art - a 4km walking trail starting from Simorre based on the principle of Land'Art. ‘In this project, I want to remain faithful to this way of working and propose works that are fully integrated into the intention of the vegetable garden; that respect its gesture, reveal it and serve it. My artistic approach is intended to be accessible to everyone, in a language that is clear and easy to understand, and that does not compartmentalise. I want to speak to everyone and I want my work to speak to everyone". A little corner of the kitchen or...behind the scenes of life. This first work, installed in May 2020, highlights a central element of the kitchen that plays as essential a role in the processing of food as it does in that of the people who live there: its table. ‘I chose it for its most basic function. It's the heart of the kitchen, the place where food is cut and chopped, de-boned, sorted, cleaned, weighed, pressed... The place where food becomes a meal. But it's also the place where people reveal themselves, alone or to each other. I love the idea that a single edge of the kitchen table could have witnessed the birth of love, the passing of culinary or family secrets, the tearing apart of people, the making of major decisions, the creation of projects, the growth of children, the sharing of desires... No matter how insignificant, this little corner of the table works on living things, transforms them and makes them evolve. Its scale has been enlarged to emphasise its importance, but also to make it a useful structure in the vegetable garden. Both the chair and the table can accommodate climbing plants and cucurbits, and their heights allow the gardener to pick fruit with ease, while creating a shady spot in summer. In winter, the table is covered in strips of woollen fabric coloured with plants from the garden or picked nearby. Artistic structures for kitchen use. Un petit coin de cuisine ou...les coulisses de la vie’ is part of an overall concept that will see other installations created in the same spirit. The idea is that each artistic installation should be made up of three essential elements: it should provoke questioning, it should be useful and it should be legible. These elements will be developed in different ways for each piece. In this context, Coline's work will question what is not visible to the naked eye: the purpose of market gardening (for what purpose do we cultivate, how do we transform what grows there, what is the future of what we create there? etc.) or will highlight the invisible but essential players in the life of the vegetable garden (its microcosm: earthworm, beetle, lucanus, dragonfly, etc.). The works will all have a real function within the garden, whether in the gardening process, in providing amenities for native flora or fauna, or in improving the living spaces for gardeners or visitors. This work will be aimed at a lay audience and is intended to speak to everyone. Each person will interpret the works in their own way, depending on who they are and what their artistic background is, but the creations will use a very direct and clear visual language. To facilitate this, humour and paradox will be used to demystify art and make it accessible to everyone.

You can visit the vegetable garden at Le Bouche à Oreille restaurant, to the delight of young and old alike! Le Bouche à Oreille (‘BAO’ for those who are used to it) is a SCIC, a not-for-profit structure, bringing together more than 120 cooperators around 4 colleges: 1- Food, from the vegetable garden to the plate. 2- Culture and popular education. 3- Development of local economic initiatives. 4- Ethics and transmission, which drives the project's democracy. In addition to delicious meals and cultural events throughout the year, Le Bouche à Oreille has created its own vegetable garden in the village of Simorre. Situated along the footpaths, the kitchen garden is open to the public and allows visitors to discover the many and varied vegetables, herbs and edible flowers that have been carefully cultivated to create the sublime menus proposed by chef Séverine. The kitchen garden is accessible by a few wooden steps from a footpath, and is open to the curious. The names and varieties of the plants are listed on small slates that sometimes reveal surprises. Take your time on site, as wooden chairs and tables have been set up for resting, picnicking, chatting, watching the frogs or admiring the portraits of the women vegetable gardeners! The ‘Structure artistique à utilité potagère’ project was born out of a desire on the part of the BAO's ‘Alimentation’ collective to bring art to the ‘village kitchen garden’. The idea was not just to bring gardeners, villagers and visitors into contact with artistic works, but to use them as a vehicle for questioning and reflecting on the environment in which they live: the vegetable garden. Trained as a scenographer, Coline Vergez's artistic work always bears witness to the environment in which it is set. She seeks to highlight and question it, while integrating her pieces within it. In this way, the works fit into a logic of harmony between materials, in images that make sense and/or in their utility. The first work, ‘Un petit coin de cuisine ou...les coulisses de la vie’, is part of an overall concept that will see other installations created in the same spirit. Coline Vergez has also created an installation in the heart of the village and, in 2019, the ‘Sentier à p'Art’, a 4km walking trail made up of 5 works based on the principle of Land'Art, starting in Simorre. To get to the kitchen garden, ask for directions at the Bouche à Oreille in the village square, or from the Foirail car park, follow the signposted footpaths and the artistic signposts of the Sentier à p'Art to find the kitchen garden (100m on your left).

The Church of Simorre is a 14th-century abbey church built on a 5th-century oratory created by Cérats, who became the patron saint of Simorre. This church was linked to the Benedictine abbey, which has now completely disappeared. Built in the shape of a Latin cross, it has an octagonal tower at the junction of the nave and transept, which should have been a bell tower like Lombez cathedral. The nave has only two and a half bays and is finished off by a stone wall. Almost the entire building is in pink brick. The stained glass windows are remarkable for their age, colour and design (14th, 15th and 16th centuries). The 16th-century choir stalls have beautiful and moving sculpted details, particularly on the cheeks. In 1964, during restoration work in the sacristy, some very fine 14th-century wall paintings were discovered. Today, you can admire many religious objects, both simple and sumptuous, dating from the 17th and 18th centuries. There are 4 statues to admire: a wooden piéta from the early 8th century, a stone piéta from the 7th century, a statue of St Cérats from the 15th century and a processional cross from the 14th century. In the 19th century, Violet le Duc undertook the restoration of the building, changing its appearance and transforming it into a fortified church. Guided tours are available during the summer season. Check the diary for dates!

A charming village, with its fortified church, its old central market hall, its museum, its half-timbered and corbelled houses, its foirail and shady squares that invite you to visit. Simorre surprises and amazes. The atmosphere of this small village is pleasant, as are the friendly musical nights in the square opposite the Bouche à Oreille. A little history: The village's picturesque narrow streets are particularly striking for their impressive fortified church, which rises up between the roofs of the houses and gives the impression of taking a trip back to the heart of the Middle Ages. After a devastating fire in 1141, the village, formerly the capital of Astarac, was rebuilt around the abbey, and the whole complex was fortified in the 12th century. To resist the Count of Astarac, the abbots constantly improved their abbey, which was given a cloister, an octagonal bell tower and extended to the west. The Abbey Church, an architectural jewel: A masterpiece of brickwork lost in the Astarac of stone. Dedicated to Notre Dame, it was built on the site of the previous church, which may have extended further west, as work carried out in 1900 uncovered remains of the construction in the extension of the current nave. Major restoration work was carried out between 1844 and 1858 under the direction of Viollet-le-Duc. The roof, which covered the walls, was lowered so that it rested directly on the vaults, and a crenellation was built around the building. ‘Simorre, a slow and committed commune! It belongs to the network of the national Cittaslow label’.

Built from 1159 to 1165 and then heavily reconstructed. Bell tower of Toulouse style . Inside chapel of the "Rosaire" linked to the tradition of saint Dominique during Muret battle. Saint James is the patron saint due to the link of the church with Toulouse cathedral which had both saint James and saint Etienne as patrons.

At the XII century, the powerfull Lezat abbey had there a house, built outside the city, for lepers and plague victims. The hospital runned until XVII century. The ruins of Saint-Marcet chapel are also named the "wall of the lepers".

At the junction of Louge and Garonne river, Muret with the belltower of Saint-James church. Ahead of it, the round tower of the townhall is at the place where was the castle of Comminges counts.

Apse and belltower from XII century. Ornaments with devils, birds, squatting personage, woman with snake (lewdness). The rest of the church was built from XVIII to the beginning of XX centuries.
