Presentation

Take off and take the back roads for a sensitive and playful discovery of the landscapes. Open your eyes, prepare your ears, sharpen your senses and experience a landscape that can be seen, heard, smelled, touched and felt.

15 strange locks dot our countryside. Each one reveals a Key to understanding our Landscapes. Collect them to compose your Nature Souvenirs set.
Photo spot, quiet place for a nap, picnic area, unique panorama… a variety of experiences to enjoy with family or friends.

Key #14: Washing your laundry, in Castelnau-sur-l'Auvignon
The waters of the basin reflect the elegant oaks. We sit in the shade, to enjoy the coolness and the song of the birds. But there is like a murmur from the side of the washhouse, a voice that tells a story... "A secret transmitted only to the initiated"

From the village, go down the path below the car park for 200 metres, towards "Le Quiot". The wash house is on your left.

Before leaving, get the "Travel Map in our Landscapes", essential for finding the 15 unusual places, available in the Tourist Offices of Condom or Montreal.
To complete the experience and learn while having fun, ask for the Travel Notebook, a game booklet to know the Gers landscapes like the back of your hand!

Do you have the soul of an adventurer? Rent the "Explorer's Bag" for 5 euros, which contains binoculars, compass, magnifying glass, fan for determining birds and animal tracks, colored pencils... the complete kit to fully experience our landscapes.
