ボーモント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.

Condom is a Gascon episcopal city, stronghold of the most famous of musketeers: d'Artagnan. The statue of the 4 musketeers by Dumas has stood in Place Saint-Pierre since its inauguration in 2010. This town is crossed by the cycle route 82 known as the Baïse valley. The city is very lively and offers many activities.

A good physical condition to cross the Gers, a lot of elevation changes

On the GR 65.

Smallest fortified medieval city in France. It is even said that Carcassonne was copied from Larressingle!

You can link it directly to the GR65 (Chemin de Compostela) if you are on a mountain bike as far as Eauze, but if you are on a bike you can also join the tarmacked GR65 by a small road from the end of the end of the greenway.
