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.

33 kilometers from Eauze to Condom on the old railway line that connected the two towns. Only a 3.6 kilometer section uses small roads to bypass the Pomiro railway tunnel which is closed. The entire route is paved. Excellent alternative to the main road, with its much too dense traffic.

Near Gabarret, Landes department, New Aquitaine, there is this beautiful early medieval church with a Romanesque layout with additions in Gothic style.

Fources is a small medieval village with some nice architecture. Small but worth a visit.

8km of cycle path to Èauze, on the route of an old railway line and therefore flat, to go at full speed!

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.

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

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.
