Horseback riding (also for beginners) is another feature offering interesting rides into the countryside or you can ride in a coach.

There are still many untouched small villages with characteristically medieval architecture, churches and museums. Montreal which is about 15 km away with its traditional night markets for instance, churches and Donjon (towers), or you can visit Fources which is about 20 km away and see the only round bastide in the Gascogne, and the medieval castle of Larresingle are especially beautiful examples of this architecture.

The abbey of Flaran with its famous cloister and abbey garden is one of the few restored Zisterzienser abbeys in Gascogne as well as the church of La Romieu which still gives witness of the pilgrim pathes Saint Jaques to Santiago de Compostella.

Vinyards and castles invite you to come visit, do some wine tasting, or find out how Armagnac and Floc is made (and taste it afterwards!). Both are distilled exclusively in Gers due to the consistency of the soil.

Eauze, Nerac, Auch and Agen are the closest smaller cities with cathedrals, markets and medieval night markets, Restaurants, Bistros, providing you with all the atmosphere of typical southwestern French cities.
