Comminges facts for kids
The Comminges is a special natural area in southern France. It's located close to the big Pyrenees mountains. This region includes the upper part of the Garonne River valley. The Garonne is one of France's four most important rivers.
Comminges is one of the oldest places in France where people have lived for a very long time. Before a big change in France called the French Revolution, Comminges was known as a 'county'. A county was like a small region ruled by a count, and it was part of a larger historical area called Gascony.
The name Comminges comes from an ancient tribe called the Convenae. These people were a Celtic tribe who lived in and around a town called Saint-Bertrand-de-Comminges. They were there at least as early as the 1st century BC, which is about 100 years before Jesus was born.
