Hiking and walks in the Gers in the middle of nature

Between the Mediterranean and the Atlantic, 1 hour west of Toulouse, there is the Gers!

The Gers is the heart of Gascony and the South-West of France, the land of d'Artagnan, the famous musketeer. Generous and friendly, let yourself be seduced by its changing lights, the softness of its hills and valleys…

The Gers is a paradise for hikers and families. Discover on foot the French Tuscany with more than 3000 km of walking and hiking trails. 

Castles, sites, remarkable monuments and gardens shape the Gers. Explore three "Great Sites of Occitanie" (Auch, Armagnac - Abbey - Cities and Marciac) and the "Most Beautiful Villages of France." Discover, on the paths of Saint James of Compostela, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Sainte-Marie Cathedral of Auch, the Collegiate Church of La Romieu, and the Roman bridge of Lartigue.

From antiquity to contemporary art, the Gers meets your desire to cultivate yourself. 

All year round, the great festivals of the Gers entertain young and old: jazz, traditional, classical or Latin music fill our stages. Music but also circus, photography, astronomy, fireworks…

Gastronomy, the art of the table and good living are famous and there are many opportunities to discover them: markets, restaurants, visits to farms and vineyards, cooking classes… centered around the oldest brandy in France, Armagnac!

Hiking can be done leisurely or sportily here. The many available routes allow varying the pleasures and landscapes.

    Merci David! 1ère expérimentation de l’appli et en VTT (chemin inverse) Le chemin de Compostel n’est pas simple à reconnaître mais qq balises permettent de s’y retrouver. En VTT quelques montées ardues tout de même. Bonne route à tous
