Bastide in the heart of the Gers, holder of the international Cittaslow label dedicated to the quality of life. Beautiful 15th century cathedral and interesting earthenware museum. It is also the place to enjoy a crisp! At the exit of the city, there is a very beautiful lake with the shaded surroundings of the Baïse.

Near the lake is a shaded picnic area. However, swimming is not supervised there. You will also find a view of the lake from the nearby road.
