Auch
On the Occitanie Rail Tour
Discover Auch
Elegant and picturesque with its cathedral and Armagnac tower, Auch is a town full of charm. The capital of the Gascogne exudes the charm of easy living with a decidedly Southern flavour.
From narrow stepped medieval streets to the River Gers that separates the old and modern districts, the town has many surprises in store for visitors. A day won't be too much to enjoy the charms of this ancient Roman town.
Must-see
A stopover on the pilgrimage route to Santiago de Compostela, Auch is as appealing for its elegant cathedral (a UNESCO World Heritage site) as it is for the extensive pre-Columbian collections of its museum...
In Auch, you'll enjoy:
- Renting a bike and cycling along the towpath by the River Gers.
- Filling up on tasty foods at the Saturday morning market, around the cathedral and the Herb Market.
- Attending a circus performance during the Circa festival (in October)
- A fun family discovery of Auch, walking in the footsteps of the King's musketeers.
