Arbas, a village at the foot of the Pyrenees

Arbas is a commune in Comminges, located at the foot of the Pyrenees, in the Arbas valley. This mountain village benefits from an exceptional natural setting, between beech forests, high-altitude meadows, and karst sinkholes. The marquee set up for the occasion offers a covered and welcoming space, protected from the vagaries of spring weather. The book market contributes to the cultural life of this dynamic rural commune.
