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.

Montreal is a rural municipality with a population of 1,980 in 2020, with a strong population growth since 1975. It is part of the Carcassonne Attraction Area. The inhabitants are called Montrealers or Montrealers.

The village houses a castle and an old church. It contains an interesting statue of Saint-Sigismond. The sculptor apparently did not know exactly what this saint looked like and therefore took another French hero as a model; Vercingetorix. The church has a special atmosphere due to its thick walls and small windows.

Larressingle was an important fortress during the Hundred Years' War. At that time, the English had firm control over the area and the village formed the defense of Gascony. Yet the village has never been the scene of battle and that is one of the reasons why it is still completely intact. For us that is an excellent thing because the village is small but it has an abundance of atmosphere.

Nestled among the vineyards in the heart of the famous Armagnac region, this former residence of the Bishops of Condom contains the remains of the former 13th century donjon castle and is a remarkable testimony to medieval architecture. This lovely village, surrounded by ramparts and canals, has many testimonies of its past.

Nicknamed the little Carcassonne of the Gers, the village of Larressingle, classified as one of the most beautiful villages in France, is the smallest fortified town in France!

Built in its current form in 1724 in the Romanesque Revival style, but first mentioned in 1432 with probably other earlier constructions, it was destroyed and rebuilt several times.
