In front of the Lac de la Prade, take the small road that goes up towards the village of Gans. In feudal times, Gans had its own fortified castle. It was destroyed and replaced by the Château des Evêques in the 18th century. Indeed, the Bishops had made Gans their countryside and came to stay at the castle surrounded by its garenne, its orangery, its fountain and its charmilles. The 19th century church, located within the very walls of the feudal castle, is perhaps the former chapel of the castle.
The town is not to be outdone when it comes to entertainment. You will perhaps have the pleasure of crossing the path of the Fifres and Tambours de Gans which punctuate certain events in the region. A night market in June and, for the more sporty, a vegetatlon are organized every year.
Outside the village, the Asinerie de Larrouey welcomes young and old for milking demonstrations.
