    "Lo camin de Comba Granda" is a historic iron and water path,
    carrying human and Occitan values. It reveals a rural world that
    one might think is dormant but which surprises by its dynamism
    that discreetly mixes past and modernity. The path you will
    travel takes you to the heart of this territory so well described
    in the literary work "Comba Granda" by Léopold Durand, a farmer turned
    Occitan writer, who experienced the great agricultural transformation, actor in
    post-war rural development.
    This work relates life on a farm, the site of a family saga from
    1870 to 1939 where "cada arbre es lo plan vengut d’un terrador. Lo voler
    faire brotar endacòm mai es pas totjorm mannat. Prengam garda,
    pasmens, d’arroïnar pas las racinas…Every tree is welcome
    from a territory. Wanting to make it grow elsewhere is not always easy. At
    least, let’s be careful not to damage the roots…"
