A beautiful, varied walk along forest paths, fields and vineyards (during the grape harvest!) through valleys and hills, following the Route d'Artagnan. Very bucolic and peaceful.

A beautiful route through the vineyards, with very diverse landscapes. After checking the elevation, it would be closer to 115 metres than 75 metres, but that doesn't detract from the charm of the walk.

From beautifully aligned vineyards to refreshing forest paths, the silence of the Gers countryside allows you to hear the splashing of water in your water bottle or the buzzing of an invisible insect.The sun, the blue sky, a weasel darting away in front of me and a small cabin lost in the woods were just some of the attractions of this beautiful walk full of hills and valleys.

A very beautiful route. Suitable for all seasons, but most beautiful in summer. The vineyards are magnificent and well pruned.
The countryside is green and hilly with small woods. A magnificent castle undergoing restoration dominates the landscape.
