Larra walks

On the west bank of the Save, a passageway through the Pyrenees, marked by evidence of ancient occupation: carved and polished stones, jewellery, coins from the Gallo-Roman period. 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.

At the beginning ofthe 12th century, the village belonged to the Counts of Isle Jourdain. A fortified village, which later became the property of the Kings of France, Bretx came under the control of various lords: the Faudoas family inthe 16th century, the Le Mazuyer family inthe 18th century and the Belbèze family before the Revolution. Bretx enjoyed prosperity in the19th century, as evidenced by most of the buildings in the village. After declining in the last century, the village is now experiencing a new boom as it welcomes new residents.

Menville is a pleasant little village on the left bank of the Save. The river meanders lazily through green meadows. Pretty houses with carefully tended gardens are grouped around the bell tower.

Le Burgaud, a name that recalls the heather that once covered its territory, is a rural commune where the first hillsides of Gascony begin. Traces of six Gallo-Roman villas have been found in the village. It was founded in 1124 by Lord Bertrand de Cobirac, who ceded the territory to the Knights of St John of Jerusalem, who held a commandery there until 1789. The fortified village was clustered around the church and the Commande fortified house.
