Key No. 6: The mysterious island, in Lagraulet-du-Gers
It is a grove, next to the vineyard. The oaks soar to conquer the sky. Vegetation reigns. But some groves are more mysterious than others...
“What’s in this grove?”
To get there :
Leave the village following the direction of Gondrin. Take the second road on the right towards the place called "La Côte". Continue straight for 1 km until the place called "Barthon". After the woods, on the right, park on the designated spaces. Climb the embankment on foot.
Before leaving, find 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!
