ムシャンのおすすめランニングルート

Superb Cistercian building founded in 1151, very well preserved.

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

This superb chateau is the centerpiece of a magnificent vineyard. Here you can run in the middle of the vines.

Flaran Abbey permanently houses the special 'Simonow' Collection with some 100 extraordinary works of art from the 17th to the 20th century. The collection consists of works of art by world-renowned artists such as Braque, Cézanne, Chagall, Courbet, Delacroix, Monet, Picasso, Renoir, Rodin, Rubens, Tiepolo, Toulouse-Lautrec and others. Michael Simonow started collecting in 1964 at the age of 18. Since 2002, his prestigious collection has been loaned to Flaran Abbey.

The monastery 'Abbaye de Flaran' is located in the Vallée de la Baïse just before Valence-sur-Baïse, just 14km east of Camping La Brouquere. This attraction is therefore easy to reach by bike!

The monastery was converted several times until it was bought by the Département du Gers in 1972, after which an extensive renovation was started. Nowadays many cultural activities are organized in the monastery.

A visit to the monastery 'Abbaye de Flaran' is definitely worth it. This abbey was founded in 1151 by the monks of Escaladieu. The monastery is one of the most beautifully preserved abbeys in southwestern France. The monastery buildings and gardens are located in the middle of a beautiful park and are a beautiful example of a Cistercean monastery from the 12th century.

Free visit to the Château with an exhibition explaining the history and techniques used to make Armagnac. The old armory, with walls more than 2 meters thick, houses one of the Armagnac aging cellars. You can watch a movie about the vine and practice sensory animation with smell organs. The old kitchen from the 16th century surprises with the originality of the vault built like a baker's oven. The walk ends with a tasting of the estate's products, for sale in the castle shop.
