3 - Visit of the Notre-Dame de Lagoutte chapel in Montardit
15h00:
Built between 1968 and 2001 by Abbot Jean-Marie Piquemal with pebbles and stones he found, masonry and sculpted. He continues with an equally original way of the cross on the outside.
4 - Tasting of Couserans crisps at the Martine Crespo shop in Saint-Girons
16h30:
It was in 1983 that Martine Crespo decided to restore its authenticity to the real traditional Couserans croustade, which was once the long-awaited dessert for family reunions or the annual village festival. When you didn't have your own wood-fired oven, you would cook your crisps, sometimes by quarantine, in the baker's oven.
