Larra walks

In the 12th century, Larra became an agricultural estate owned by the Cistercian abbey of Grandselve. The fairs in Grenade allowed the farmers of Larra to sell their produce. The Avocat dairy farm produced wine that rivalled the best vintages of Fronton. In 1955, Larra became an independent commune.

Bretx enjoyed prosperity in the19th century, as evidenced by most of the buildings in the village.

Founded in 1290 on the initiative of Eustache de Beaumarchais, Seneschal of the King of France and Prior of the Cistercian Abbey of Grandselve, the town of Grenade was built in a grid pattern, with a market hall and church.

In 1790, Grenade became the capital of the canton of Haute-Garonne.
