Want to soothe your soul ??  Then it must be the 'Gers' in SW France 

Seeking happiness ??  Look no further.  Visit this region as soon as you possibly can for a memorable holiday.

The 'Gers' has no motorways running through it - so no juggernauts to disrupt the peace and quiet of the region.  A dog barking is an event here !!

'AUCH the capital city ( described as so diminuitive it does not feel like the capital of anywhere ) is a delightful little place, wander the streets and shops at your leisure, or stop for a quiet drink in a cafe.

At certain times, you are more likely to run into wildlife than people, particularly on a 'randonee' ie a walk or cycle ride in the countryside.  Wildlife abounds here with deer, wild boar, red squirrels, foxes, badgers and chickens that cross the road - sometimes using the equivalent of a zebra crossing !! - photo opportunity I think.

Miles of rolling hills, sooooo- peaceful villages, vineyards of 'Armagnac' brandy, yellow fields of either maize or sunflowers, church spires and cypress trees abound.  Is this perfection ?

We certainly think so.  Fly into Toulouse or let the train take the strain to Agen railway station and bring your own bike if you want.

Lets face it - we all need a break in this stressful and pacey life of the 21st century - So, our dream is for you to visit this wonderful region and to thoroughly enjoy a holiday with us walking and cycling in the Gers- go ahead and 'soothe your soul !'
