General presentation
Gers et Armagnac
Hills, bastides, markets, villages, gascon heritage and slow gastronomy.
The discovery of Gers and Armagnac revolves around Auch, Lectoure and Armagnac. The stay thus alternates between the countryside and the heritage, which gives a concrete picture of the destination beyond its only best known site.
See all
For a stay of 3 to 6 days, a quiet rhythm works well. Also to be anticipated: summer heat. A car is usually the easiest way to connect different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
City
Auch
Auch presents a historical city silhouette supported by regular perspectives, central squares and materials that retain a character of Gers country. By walking around it, the urban structure becomes even more legible. The place is better to be observed between places, shopping artery and natural exits.
City
Lectoure
Lectoure stretch on a spur with long streets, private hotels, a massive cathedral and unobstructed views of the Gers countryside. The city has austere elegance, softened by markets, blonde stones and the proximity of the land of Armagnac.
Vineyards
Armagnac
Armagnac lives less like a simple tasting place than a local history space: landscapes, buildings, uses, production rhythms. Walking in its environment reveals the continuity between terroir and architecture. The discovery remains anchored when one alternates explanation and direct observation.
