Key #1: The Colors of Time.
Welcome to the Baïse Valley, nicknamed the silver river to evoke its role in the local economic development.
Did you know that you can read the colours of time in the Baïse, the proud Gascon river? Sometimes grey, blue, suddenly green or coffee with milk... These shades tell you about the climate and tell you about the passing of time...
"You see? On these docks we loaded Armagnac onto the boats."

From the port of Condom, walk to the Carmes theater and continue a few meters to the top of the dike.

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!
