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 “Basilique-Cathédrale Sainte-Marie d’Auch”, dedicated to Our Lady, rises impressively over the square. Three huge round arches lead first into the vestibule, which is called paradise. Above you, two very fortified-looking towers rise to a height of 44 meters. Inside the church, the (late) Gothic architecture surprises visitors: a high main nave and two side aisles as well as a rich chapel wreath are presented to the visitor, light and flooded with light. Before the French Revolution, the Archbishop of Auch bore the title of Primate of Aquitaine.

Saint Nicholas (Saint NICOLAS), bishop of Myra, to whom the church in Castelnau-Barbarens is dedicated, is – along with Saint Martin – one of the most popular saints of all. Almost every child in Germany - and far beyond - should know his commemoration day, December 6th. On the eve of this day, the children used to put their shoes or boots in front of the door – which of course had to be cleaned with great care – so that they could be filled with gifts by St. Nicholas during the night. In more agricultural areas, it was also customary for the children to provide a small amount of food for the donkey, St Nicholas' riding animal (according to another tradition, it was a white horse).

Here is what looks like a tower but is actually the ruins of an old windmill. A very charming element to discover on leaving the village of Montegut.
