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 create your Nature Souvenirs kit. Photo spot, quiet place for a nap, picnic area, unique panorama… a variety of experiences to enjoy with family or friends.

Key No. 3: The Orée gates, in Fourcès
At the foot of the water tower, dressed for the occasion, a magical place to discover the landscape at 360°. By a steep path, we arrive there early in the morning to have the privilege of seeing the sun rise.
“The most magical thing is at sunrise!”

To get there on foot:
Take the road towards Montreal for 300 meters, then go up to the left by the grassy path. Continue along the white path to the water tower (follow the yellow markings).

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.
