Living traditions

Or how to keep traditions alive, while being a welcoming land for different cultures? The Couserans is rich in history, a mischievous history, as these mountains are so beautiful and rugged: their women and men resemble them.

The love of the mountain way of life and its traditions leads to keeping alive a culture imbued with its roots. Ancestral rhythms marked by a series of festivals, including the famous Transhumance in June.

The 18 valleys have always been open to the world: each new leaf mixing its color, its dance, its vibration, its music, even in each valley bottom.

The old stones welcome shows and concerts in Tourtouse, at the castle of Seix, in the city of Saint Lizier and other places. cultural bistros bring villages to life all year round, even in winter, with quality programming. artisans bring to life or revive know-how, bringing them up to date.

Let's go meet these people from Couserans, including some pretty great characters, it must be said!
