Cazères - Notre Dame

19 Feb 2017 233
Cazères is another old bastide town. Notre Dame, the towns recently restaurated parish church, was erected 13th/14th century on the banks of the River Garonne. Though the "official" Via Tolosana, that I walked some years ago, runs further north (Toulouse-Auch), there were many other ways, the pilgrims could choose. Cazères was one of the places along the Via Garona, where it was easy to cross the river. Cazères had a "hopital" and a "confrérie" to support the pilgrims. Today this is the "SOCIÉTÉ de SAINT JACQUES". The members have niceley decorated the side chapel. ultreia.pagesperso-orange.fr/confcaz.htm
