Grenade (French pronunciation: [ɡʁənad] ⓘ; Languedocien: Granada), also referred to as Grenade-sur-Garonne, is a commune in the Haute-Garonne department in southwestern France.

The city is the subject of a paréage agreement between the monks and the seneschal Eustache de Beaumarchais representing King Philip IV.

Grenada is therefore called so to show that it is destined to be an influential city in the South West of France.

It has also been suggested that Granada comes from the Latin Granat - meaning grain - as the region was noted for its agriculture.

Later, when the king had regained control of the different regions of the South-West, a “network” of bastides was created.
