The Gers
There is so much to see

Embark on a journey of discovery in La Romieu and the surrounding area.

A land of rich, historical and cultural heritage, the Gers has so much to offer. Take a step back in time, you will be enchanted by the gascon monuments and architecture.
La Romieu has been an important stop over on the ancient pilgrim route to Santiago de Compostela for many centuries. This pretty, charming village is steeped in history, and its Collégiale church is a listed UNESCO World Heritage Site.  Montréal, Fourcès,  Larressingle and Lavardens are also well worth a visit, named alongside La Romieu as some of the “Most Beautiful Villages” in France. And don't miss Coursiana, La Romieu's splendid botanical gardens.

When you spend your holiday in the Gers, part of the new Occitanie region, you will enjoy tasting the delicious culinary specialities, wines and Armagnac brandies – arguably the most important natural riches of the area.

If you like days out in the countryside with family and friends, you will love the Cap Cauderoue treetop adventure, Walibi theme park, Aqualand in Agen, and the golf course in Bretagne d’Armagnac. Not forgetting, of course, the numerous walks and cycle routes you can access directly from the campsite.
The setting, amongst fields of sunflowers and the scenic hills and valleys of the Gers, plus the proximity to many excellent touristic sites make La Romieu the ideal location for a perfect holiday.

The Cathedral was built between the 15th and 17th centuries and is well worth a visit.
