Experience the Magic of Transhumance in the Heart of the Pyrenees
Join us for an unforgettable journey into the heart of the Pyrenees as we celebrate the age-old tradition of transhumance! This spring, from May 31 to June 14, 2025, immerse yourself in the vibrant culture and breathtaking landscapes of Couserans.
What is Transhumance?
Transhumance is a time-honored practice where livestock migrate to higher pastures for the summer months. This rhythmic movement of animals not only supports sustainable farming but also enriches our local heritage. Visitors from near and far come to witness this spectacular event that has been part of our mountains for nearly a thousand years!
