The Gers is still deeply rural, life is relaxed, the pace leisurely - the ideal base for gentle walks through beautiful countryside or a visit to the sleepy bastide villages which dot the area. Larresingle is perhaps the most perfect but any one could be the hidden gem that becomes your favourite. Stroll the narrow cobbled streets of Condom and Auch. The area is renowned for its food - and the longevity of its inhabitants! - prunes, cherries, garlic, melons, wine, Armagnac and the local tipple Floc (visit the producer in the village) and above all its duck and goose. You will dine wonderfully well, be it the local hostelry, La Table des Cordeliers in Condom (highly recommended) or with a Michelin star at Le Square in Astaffort . There's Parc Walibi at Agen for the children; ping pong, boules, swings at Déhès. The chateau is only 10 minutes drive from the World Heritage Site church at La Romieu, on the ancient pilgrimage route to Santiago de Compostela. Feel inspired with every step...
