Holiday apartments and houses in Gers

Where can I eat out in Gers?

Fascinating sights in picturesque landscape

A private holiday apartment or a house in the Gers region takes you back to the flair of times long past. A very special highlight is the Cathedral of St. Marie, whose construction began in 1489 but was not completed until the 17th century. The imposing building impresses with its rich interior, such as the choir stalls, which include 1,500 figures. At that time, the 40 m high Tower d'Armagnac, which served as a prison, was unique architecturally. D'Artagnan, one of the three musketeers, is the most famous inhabitant of the city. You can admire his statue in the village of Auch. Culture enthusiasts should definitely visit the small theater in Auch, which is housed in the beautiful city hall. During your holiday in a house with internet or in an apartment with several bathrooms and barbecue in Gers, you should not miss the picturesque town of Montréal-du-Gers. This historic place is considered one of the most beautiful cities in France and was the first bastide founded in Gascony. Bastides were fortified defense villages that provided protection for the rulers. They were laid out in a checkerboard pattern, with the marketplace and its market hall at the center. If you rent a holiday home or apartment with high-quality equipment in Gers, you will come to this region, among other reasons, because of its location on the Via Podensis. The Via Podensis is one of the four historical Way of St. James and attracts many people who want to follow in the footsteps of the past. About 45 km north of Auch is the episcopal city of Condom, which lies on a river where many paddlers and houseboat enthusiasts frolic. Above the labyrinth of picturesque alleys, the Gothic Cathedral of Saint-Pierre towers in the heart of the old town. Sunday is market day in the Bouquerie quarter; you can best observe the colorful hustle and bustle from one of the many terrace cafés. In many accommodations with gardens, pets are allowed, so a holiday with a dog in southern France is not an obstacle. Some holiday homes with pools have several bedrooms so that all persons have enough space. Many holiday homes offer amenities such as a washing machine, which ensures an undisturbed holiday in France. The reviews from other guests provide a good overview of the satisfaction with the holiday home or apartments.
