Tips from the Community
33 kilometers from Eauze to Condom on the old railway line that connected the two towns. Only a 3.6 kilometer section uses small roads to bypass the Pomiro railway tunnel which is closed. The entire route is paved. Excellent alternative to the main road, with its much too dense traffic.

For the arcaded square in front of Saint Luperc Cathedral and the small streets in the surrounding area.

8km of cycle path to Èauze, on the route of an old railway line and therefore flat, to go at full speed!

Eauze is the Capital of Armagnac! The hills that surround the village allow you to have, on a clear day, a wide view of the peaks of the Pyrenees.

Very old Castelnau-type village overlooking the Auzoue from a rocky outcrop. Impressive private feudal castle which can be walked around by the path of the gardens.
