Your guests often travel far and stay two or three days. Here is where we send them when they ask what to do.
The Gers is the only département in France without a motorway. That makes it harder to reach, and is exactly what has preserved it.
To eat
- La Ferme aux Grives, at Eugénie-les-Bains — Michel Guérard's house, forty-five minutes away.
- Restaurant Minvielle, at Ségos — quieter, just as serious.
- Les 7 Couleurs, at Saint-Germé — a step away, fresh local produce only.
To drink
The Saint-Mont cooperative is the fourth largest wine cooperative in France: Madiran, Saint-Mont, Pacherenc de Vic-Bilh. And it is impossible to leave without stopping at Château de Laubade, at Sorbets, for an Armagnac — the oldest spirit in France.
To see
- The bastides of Fourcès and Larressingle
- Flaran abbey
- Sainte-Marie cathedral in Auch, on the UNESCO list
- The keep at Bassoues
To experience
The Marciac Jazz Festival in August, unique in Europe. Tempo Latino at Vic-Fezensac in late July, three days of salsa. And all year round, village fêtes, concerts, bodegas — Spain is not far.
"Our guests from Paris stayed four days. They wanted to leave on the Sunday."
We keep a fuller list on hand. Ask for it at contact@chateausaintgerme.fr.
