In the heart of Gascony lies its compact, friendly capital, Auch.

The most fascinating sites are situated outside of the modern town on the hill overlooking the river Gers.

The Catherdrale de St Marie contains some of the most remarkable and vivid stained glass dating from around 1513, depicting some 360 individual figures.

Outside the cathedral is the Escalier Monumental, a staircase of 232 stone steps running down the river where a statue of Alexandre Dumas’s d’Artagnan stands.

To the north of Auch is the cheerful market town and centre of Armagnac production, Condom, which makes an excellent base for exploring Gascony.
