Pic du Gar, Mountain summit in Haute-Garonne, France

Pic du Gar is a limestone summit of 1,785 metres in the Pyrenees, above the village of Bezins-Garraux in Haute-Garonne. Its western slope, on the Moncaup side, is a moderate grass-covered incline, while the eastern face above Bezins-Garraux is steeper. The secondary Pic Saillant, at 1,756 metres, carries a summit cross.

The summit held a Gallo-Roman sanctuary of Gar, a deity of the Garumni, a proto-Basque people mentioned by Caesar. Three inscribed and many uninscribed votive altars were found in the ruins and masonry of two chapels. Christianity later added a pilgrimage to the cross on the secondary Pic Saillant.

The name Gar may come from a root meaning "rock", making the toponym tautological. The summit was a cult site of Gar, deity of the Garumni, a proto-Basque people mentioned by Caesar; three inscribed votive altars and many uninscribed ones were found in the ruins of two chapels. Christianity later added a pilgrimage to the cross on Pic Saillant.
