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.

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.

Take advantage of this tour to see the double lock of Graziac. Very beautiful place.

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
