Discover the charms of Monlezun, Gers, Midi-Pyrénées

If the landscapes covered by this stage show a certain continuity, combining agricultural valleys and wooded hills, this section of the Way of Arles is half Bigourdan, half Bearn, since it leaves the department of Hautes-Pyrénées to enter that of Pyrénées-Atlantiques. The entry in Béarn is marked by a beautiful point of view on the chain of the Pyrenees.

The highlight of this tour is the picturesque village of St-Arailles with its towers and arches. But the tour also includes forest tracks and paths through the state forest of Armagnac. Visit the historic Chapel of Notre-Dame-de-Bretous, just past St-Arailles. It is recommended to have a picnic below St-Arailles.

Via Castillon-Debats to Lannepax for lunch, and perhaps a tasting at Armagnac Delord, before returning via the lake of Candau. Take the whole day, quietly, with good breaks. Or do the 2-hour circuit at a good pace, without stops.

A picturesque tour to the charming villages of Castelnau-d'Anglès and Montesquiou. Stop in Montesquiou for a coffee or lunch and a walk. The village is on the GR653 hiking trail that takes hikers and cyclists to Toulouse and beyond . Leaving Montesquiou, you will have the pleasure of discovering a snail farm (Les Escargots de Malicorne), with possible tasting in season. On the way back to e-Vélo Gers, you will pass by the Saint-Laurent lake with the possibility to have a picnic and a walk. The circuit totals 47 km and 511 m of positive elevation gain, with the possibility of doing more if you turn off towards Bassoues before the lake.

A circuit around Lupiac and Lac St-Jean, passing through the small villages of Peyrusse-Grande, Peyrusse-Vieille, Gazax and St-Pierre-d'Aubézies. At the halfway point, the tour descends to Lac St-Jean, where you can spend time in the bird observatory overlooking the lake, take a walk and have a peaceful picnic. Before returning to e-Vélo Gers, the tour stops in the village of Lupiac to explore the museum and history of D'artagnan. This is a short tour for a relaxing day out.

A long circuit from Lupiac westward to the village of Tasque and then southward along the floodplain of the Arros, entering Plaisance from the north. The route crosses a total of four valleys for a total elevation gain of 684 m. The return to e-Vélo Gers is via Peyrusse-Vieille and Peyrusse-Grande.

An excursion along both sides of the Douze valley with a stop to explore the village of Lupiac, passing by the castle of Castelmore, birthplace of d'Artagnan, then on to Séailles and Avéron-Bergelle. This circuit allows you to discover the magnificent landscapes of the Gers while avoiding the big towns.

This circuit, intended for people full of energy and amateurs, who love villages with character, crosses four valleys (of the Baïse, the Osse, the Guiroue and the Auzoue). We pass by the magnificent Domaine Herrebouc, with its castle and mill, for a visit (and perhaps a tasting) then by the villages of Bazian, Biran, Caillavet, Roquebrune and Le Brouilh-Monbert. With 53 km and lots to explore, this is a nice long day adventure, avoiding the busy roads.

We cross three valleys (of the Mouliaque, the Guiroue and the Auzoue) on the way to Riguepeu and its charming restored water mill. After passing the ancient Roman ruin ("La pile Gallo Romaine dite La Montjoie") there is a short stretch off road roads through the fields before passing Domaine Boca, Tudelle and then the village of Bazian. Stop in Bazian to explore and picnic. Leaving Riguepeu, the route is picturesque with distant views of the Pyrenees.

A relatively short tour that has everything to please. For wine and Armagnac lovers, we start at the Domaine de Bilé, then enter the picturesque village of Bassoues, where you can visit the village and its listed monuments, and even stop for a light lunch. Leaving Bassoues, the route follows the trail along the western shore of Lake St. Lawrence, a great place for a picnic if you haven't already eaten. If you have energy, you can take a 6 km walk around the lake. A relaxing day.
