Cezan is a fortified village. The outer walls of the village houses form a surrounding wall. There are two towers left. There are few tourists who discover the place. There are so many castles and old villages or towns in the Gers.

Also called Gallo-Roman pile, this turaque or tower is dated between the first and third centuries AD. It is located between the town of Biran and the island of the Biran mill. It was surely the mausoleum of a rich landowner or notable person of that time. A second pile stood 20 meters further north. It was destroyed during the 19th century. The place with an enclosure has not yet been excavated. It must contain tombs and objects of worship.

It is a Gascon castle which has the particularity of being made up of a large keep. It is close to the Baïse, at a location which allowed a fording of the road leading from Auch to Eauze. Due to its strategic position, it must have had an important role. it was also to serve as protection for the adjacent mill.

Like any self-respecting spa town, Castéra-Verduzan has baths and a casino. It is also a pretty town with a beach, a lake and a campsite. In short, a pleasant place to take a more or less long break.

The castle is located between Valence-sur-Baïse and Auch (near the town of Jegun) in the Gers department in southwestern France. More information, for example about opening hours and current exhibitions, can be found on the Chateau Lavardens website:

A large part of the castle is open to visitors. In addition to many other rooms, the castle has a whisper room (echo room) with special acoustics. The high vaulted ceiling creates an echo that can be heard very well from one corner to the other. This room is rightly called the Salle d'Echo. There are also regular exhibitions of well-known painters, sculptors and other artists.

The interior of the castle is remarkably spacious and light with 19 different beautiful mosaic floors that are beautifully enhanced by the incoming sunlight. France has no other monument with so many of these beautiful authentic mosaic floors.

Between heaven and earth: that is Chateau Lavardens. Located between Castera-Verduzan and Auch the castle proudly overlooks the rolling countryside of the Gers from a hilltop. The castle has a rich and eventful past, something that is reflected in the sturdy and massive appearance.
