Saint-Maurin is located in the hollow of a green valley where the Escorneboeuf flows. To see: its half-timbered houses, its market hall, the remains of the Benedictine abbey from the 11th and 12th centuries and its abbey castle built in 1500.

The construction of Saint-Maurin Abbey dates from the end of the 11th century, following its affiliation with Moissac Abbey and the Benedictine order. This large monastic ensemble spread out to numerous surrounding churches and priories, as many possessions which showed its influence and importance within a radius of 20 kilometers. Ruined then restored several times during the Hundred Years' War and during the Wars of Religion, it was during the Revolution that the buildings were sold in batches. Today, you can still admire the choir of the old abbey church as well as two chapels, the cloister, the convent buildings, the abbey castle and its gardens.

Auvillar is classified among the Most Beautiful Villages of France. The village offers many accommodations and several restaurants.

Coming from Mossiac, the town of Saint-Antoine is the 18th stage of the Camino de Santiago (Chemin de Saint-Jaques) if you follow the VIA PODIENSIS (from Le Puy-en-Velay to the Pyrenees).

Saint-Antoine is a commune in the Gers department of France and has 174 inhabitants. The place is part of the district of Condom.

Good parking spot at the beginning and the end.
