10의 세인트-라리가지 명소 & 주요 장소

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.

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.

Prefecture of the Gers department. Renowned for its gastronomy, its cathedral, and its staircase from the top of which the statue of d'Artagnan dominates the course of the Gers.

With this monument at the bottom of a monumental staircase that leads from the river to the cathedral, the city also pays tribute to a literary hero: the fictional character d'ARTAGNAN, created by the writer Alexandre DUMAS (1802 to 1870), along with Athos, Porthos and Aramis the Brave Heroes in "The Three Musketeers". He chose Charles de Batz, Comte d'Artagnan, whose childhood and youth he spent here, as his historical role model.

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.
