Montréal (Gers) walks

Thirty-eighth stage of the Camino de Santiago. On the agenda for this short stage: rolling countryside, vineyards, cornfields and forests, ending in the magnificent ancient town of Eauze. Take the time to enjoy this journey through the land of D’Artagnan which, in the heart of the provinces of Guyenne and Gascony, reveals gentle landscapes, symbols of a certain way of life.

Set off on a walk through the vineyards or in the shade of the woods along pleasant paths offering views of Castelnau de Fourcès.

Along the shaded paths, you will overlook the Baïse and Osse valleys before reaching Larressingle. The former residence of the bishops of Condom has retained all the splendour of its medieval fortifications.

The Gers is a hilly region, and this walk confirms it. The route winds its way up and down, offering ever-changing views of the fields and vineyards, the village of Mouchan and, in the distance, Mansencôme Castle. It starts and ends in the village of Mouchan, which offers many points of interest: the wash house, the weighbridge, La Pachère, the Roman Bridge, the Bourdette mill, the “Autrefois en Gascogne” museum, etc...

This route takes you through plantations of poplars, kiwis and hazelnuts alongside vineyards, dotted with copses and small ponds. The mosaic of colours and crops will also delight walkers, with views over the countryside and the villages of Cazeneuve and Eauze.

From Condom to Larressingle through vineyards and cereal fields on pleasant paths. The return journey from the fortified village to Condom is gentle, mainly along theGR®65.

A magnificent view of the cathedral and the village of Eauze. Pronounced "éauze" (with the accent on the E). Superb paths through the woods. A hike that is accessible to all. A change of scenery guaranteed. This is a pleasant walk that follows the route of the old Éauze-Montréal railway line before reaching the hamlet of Cuherche and the hillside lakes. Pronounced "éauze" (with the accent on the E).

Thirty-ninth stage of the Camino de Santiago. This stage offers a beautiful journey through the Bas Armagnac region, through a rural landscape featuring half-timbered houses, ancient oak groves, fields of maize and sunflowers, and the vineyards for which this region is renowned, with the Pyrenees mountain range as a backdrop. In wet weather, certain sections of the path through the vineyards can become very muddy and slippery.

Newly re-routed, the Baïse towpath allows you to reach Condom from Valence, following the river for 11 km. This circular route joins the double lock at Graziac via forest paths, returning through the valley.

A hilltop village, Lagardère offers splendid views of the countryside, with its vineyards and multicoloured fields. Its typical Gascon château dominates the surrounding area and is accompanied by a small 12th-century Romanesque chapel.

A circular countryside route through vineyards, farmland and woods. Half the route is on small tarmac roads.

This charming route takes you on a journey of discovery through the rich landscapes of the Gers and their heritage, from Valence-sur-Baïse to Maignaut-Tauzia.

A pleasant and varied route, starting from Valence-sur-Baïse, which can be enjoyed in all seasons, with the aim of visiting the double lock at Graziac.

This circular route is dotted with historical sites, castles, chapels, abbeys, and the villages of Cassaigne and Mansencôme, and winds through woods and vineyards, alternating between paths and trails. This route starts in Valence-sur-Baïse, a 13th-century fortified town.

A very pleasant walk thanks to the many paths winding through hedgerows or groves, offering numerous views of the surrounding countryside. A stop is a must at the ruins of Pardailhan Castle.

Enjoy the coolness of the path along the River Osse and a stop in the village of Marambat (fortified gate) before tackling the climbs; you will then be rewarded with sweeping, magnificent views.
