Want to soothe your soul ??  Then it must be the 'Gers' in South West 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 !'
