Pointis-Inard between the Garonne and the Ger

Pointis-Inard lies between the Garonne and the River Ger. Local highlights range from waterways and walks to hiking trails and religious buildings. When planning a stay, it is worth exploring these different perspectives: they cover both the landscape and practical ways to enjoy the outdoors, as well as historical landmarks. The Aval du Job et du Ger natural area is connected to this riverside setting.

Waterways and walks

The Aval du Job et du Ger ZNIEFF natural area encompasses the lower reaches of the Job and Ger streams and their tributaries. It extends to their confluence with the Garonne and runs through Pointis-Inard. The lower reaches are the downstream sections of a watercourse; a confluence is where watercourses meet. This geographical description therefore identifies the two streams, their tributaries and the extent of the area. The Esplanade du Ger, also known as “du Gravier,” is a smaller-scale attraction. It is a protected area and a notable place for walks. Both names refer to the same esplanade, so you can also recognize it by its alternative name. While the Aval du Job et du Ger area encompasses a wider network of waterways, the esplanade is a specific place for a walk.

Church and chapel

The Église Saint-Sernin has been listed as a historic monument since 18 June 1979. The Chapelle de Brouls was solemnly consecrated after being rebuilt in 1864. The dates refer to different events: 1979 marks the church’s listing, while 1864 relates to the chapel’s reconstruction and consecration. This makes it possible to distinguish the historical context of the two buildings. The Chapelle de Brouls welcomes many visitors throughout the year; in practice, access may vary. Check the specific visitor arrangements before your visit.

Hiking trails in the commune

Hiking trails have been opened in the commune of Pointis-Inard. Areas in the Tenillon forest and at La Baquère have also been cleared. Hiking refers to trails in the commune, while the esplanade is a single place for a walk. Check route details before setting out so you can plan your hike using the trails intended for your visit.

To choose a focus, it helps to distinguish between the different scales: the Aval du Job et du Ger area encompasses several watercourses and their tributaries; the esplanade is a specific place for walks, and the hiking trails cover the commune. This can help you decide whether to focus your stay on the riverside landscape, a walk or a hike.
