LE GRAND TOUR DE L'ASTARAC
Go there and contact
As a renowned nature destination, the Gers is ideal for exploring the region by bike. For cycling enthusiasts, the Grand Tour de l'Astarac is a new cycling itinerary, starting in Auch. The route is 154 km long. It is signposted in both directions, on small, shared roads with little traffic, between hills and valleys. In 2 to 5 days, you'll discover this little-known region, with its remarkable natural and historical heritage, which is a candidate for the Parc Naturel Régional label. You'll discover small villages marked by a profoundly rural identity and landscapes with an exceptional mosaic of colors. If you're short of time or just fancy a short stroll, you can select just a small portion of the route. Whether you're on your own, with your family or with friends, get on your electrically-assisted bike (or your road bike for the more sporty); this tour is suitable for families and experienced cyclists alike. In May 2024, Pays d'Auch inaugurated this cyclo-tourist circuit by organizing 6 "Cinécyclo" evenings, a unique concept combining bicycle touring, cultural action and environmental awareness through open-air cinema screenings... all powered by the strength of your calves.
