ロックのおすすめツーリングルート

The Baïse River Discovery Trail is very pleasant and very bucolic. The Baïse has been a communication and navigation route since the Middle Ages. Barges (gabarres) or bachots (bachots) traveled down the river to Agen, transporting agricultural goods, wheat, wine, Armagnac, timber, and more. Twenty-one locks are located along its length. Today, it is used by unlicensed boats and converted barges. You will pass Flaran Abbey, a superb Cistercian building founded in 1151 and very well preserved. This trail along the Baïse is very well laid out; I even found dry toilets just before Valence-sur-Baïse, next to a picnic area. Bravo again!

Condom, a former episcopal city crossed by the Baïse River, is renowned for its Saint-Pierre Cathedral and its Armagnac-related past. In front of the cathedral stands the famous statue of the Four Musketeers (D'Artagnan and his companions), a tribute to Alexandre Dumas' novel and the famous captain's Gascon roots.

Accessible and fairly hilly route. For a first timer, it's quite good for warming up.

For the arcaded square in front of Saint Luperc Cathedral and the small streets in the surrounding area.
