Menville walks

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. The residents of Menville enjoy the peace and quiet and proximity to nature. Country roads lead to beautiful old farms, which everyone takes pride in maintaining and improving.

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.

Route through the Bouconne National Forest. No particular difficulty as this hike has very little elevation gain. Very shaded route, perfect for summer family hikes.

A hike in the countryside on the border between Gers and Haute Garonne, starting from the Abbey of Sainte-Marie-du-Désert and passing through two pretty little villages, Vignaux and Garac.

In the 12th century, a castle and a fortified village were built by the Viscounts of Gimoes. The castle became the property of the Counts of L'Isle Jourdain. Launac was the site of the bloody Battle of Palot. After a period of calm, the seigneury passed into the hands of Toulouse parliamentarians, sparking a conflict over feudal rights. The inhabitants resisted and even emigrated for years. After the Revolution, the market hall and church were rebuilt, a school was created and the ramparts were demolished.

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.

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. It prospered as the population cleared the surrounding wooded areas. Often pillaged during the Hundred Years' War and the Wars of Religion, calm and prosperity returned under Henry IV. In 1790, Grenade became the capital of the canton of Haute-Garonne.
