GREATER AUCH AGGLOMERATION

This large building overlooking Place de la Libération, whose construction was initiated by the famous Intendant of Etigny, is home to some beautiful surprises including a magnificent Italian theater and the famous Salle des Illustres where are exhibited the portraits of Gersois, which marked the history of the Gers, works of Gustave de Lassalle-Bordes. Today, the city of Artagnan of 21,900 inhabitants has developped its status as a cultural city and the opening of the Musée du Trésor, event of 2015 and in 2016 a brandnew Tourist Office, modern and technologically advanced, splendid with a panoramic room opening onto the cathedral. The commitment of the municipality to renovate the heart of the city continues today and rue Dessoles is literally transformed: studied lighting to enhance the facades, revegetation, renovation of the paving, etc. The historic centre benefits from 1 M euros of works to afford a new image. The monumental staircase should return to its gardens, the last stage of works ending this year and let's greet the result of these projects that make Auch live in its time while preserving its heritage!
