The Saint-Girons market

“A Saturday Morning on Earth” ! It is often a particularly difficult challenge, in our mountains and further afield, to accept our differences, to communicate, to exchange and to share.

However, the place and the moment that brings the whole of the Couserans together is the Saint-Girons market. Here, we can see all the benefits of the cultural melting pot that has been taking place in Ariège for decades.

The local traditions are alive and well – carried by centuries of mountain know-how and production – and, despite a touch of stubborness from some, they are also nourished by the successive arrivals of new inhabitants. They all share the attachment to the land, in its most basic sense. And this land gives it all back and more !
