The birth of the Garonne River, a river that runs more than 600 kilometers through the south of France, flowing into the Atlantic Ocean, in the city of Bordeaux

The Val d'Aran is home to three different and valid stories about birth that you can discover in the place.

For a long time it was believed that this was the place where the Garonne, a river with more than 500 kilometers of course, emerged. However, several studies have confirmed that the birth is located in the Saboredo circus.
