Discover Larroque-engalin, gem of Gers

This easy walk takes place in the rounded hills of the Gascony hillsides, accompanying for a few kilometres the pilgrims towards Santiago de Compostela, for whom the goal is 1063 km, the distance indicated on the totem pole installed by the FFRandonnée.

This circuit allows you to discover, from the ridge paths, numerous panoramas on the hillsides of Gascony, delimiting the departments of Gers and Lot-et-Garonne. You can also see the bastide of Lamontjoie, founded in 1298 on a regular plan, with a central square and a parish church. It is surrounded by ramparts and ditches which were transformed into a garden at the end of the 18th century. Outside the walls of the bastide, two convents were founded in the 17th century: that of the Cordeliers in 1623 and that of the Poor Clares in 1667, of which a wing and part of the cloister have been preserved.

The paths on this route are often paved. The shimmering surface of this large lake - more than a kilometre long - catches the eye. The church of St. Vincent, separated from its bell tower, is also worth seeing, as well as many panoramas, including those of St. Vincent, Manne, Pane Baque, etc..

Marmont-Pachas, a village without a town, is notable for its church with a round, tapering stone bell tower. This is where this hike starts, through very open, rounded hillsides, which accompanies the pilgrims of St-Jacques, from the Aouillès farm to the old cemetery near Curton.

From villages to viewpoints, during this walk you will be able to see the valleys of the Gers and the Garonne, the wide horizons of the Brulhois area, from East to West and the hills of Gascony to the South. This tour will make you discover the vineyard huts, built in the commune of Astaffort between 1880 and 1950. They belonged to the inhabitants of the village, shopkeepers, teachers, roadmenders, craftsmen, notables and farmers. When one left for the vineyard, one spent the day and sometimes the night there. The hut served as a shelter and a place to live for the winegrowers and the draught animals, cows or horses, as well as a shed for the tools and equipment specific to this crop. Some were of classical construction, in local stone, others in brick, dry earth or wood, depending on the means or personality of the owner.

Musical stroll with the "Voix du Sud", a bucolic stroll through the rounded hillsides of Gascony to discover the vineyard and its ancient vineyard huts.

Through the hillsides of Gascony, from the gateway to the Gers to the Garonne valley, there are many viewpoints Montagnac, Moncaut or Saint-Cirice or Beaulens allow you to discover the villages of the richly cultivated hills, almost idyllic landscapes to observe as the seasons go by Sometimes, the gaze goes further towards the long ribbon of the Pyrenees which is cut in zigzags on the horizon.

Built on a hill, the village of Francescas, dominates hillsides and valleys. This village was first formed around the church and then, in 1286, Edward I transformed it into a bastide. It is then enclosed in fortifications and surrounded by moats. The access is made by four doors, damaged during the wars of Religion, they are destroyed in the eighteenth century. Today, you can see a house whose facades date from the 16th century, which houses a museum of tin cans. 500 pieces from England and elsewhere are on display. Before leaving the bastide, look for the house of La Hire, companion of Joan of Arc, which dates from the 13th century On this circuit, you will see representative pigeon lofts of Albret with original roofs on the round tower of the bastide of Francescas, built on round pillars, stones in Terrette or square tower in Coussire.

From the village of Nomdieu, built around the Hospitaller Commandery, founded in the 12th century, to Saint-Lary, the view is of the hills of Albret. The villages of Montagnac-sur-Auvignon, Moncaut, Laplume and Fieux can be seen on the horizon. During this tour you will see the churches of Nomdieu and Saint-Lary, and then you will be able to admire the viewpoints and a rich built heritage. You will not be able to miss the church of Saint-Jean-Baptiste, which has thick walls with narrow openings, evidence of its defensive character. At the foot of the church, you will find a sundial, called analemmatic. It is the first of a series of four located around the village, which you can discover during this hike.
