La pousterle auscitaine is a steep medieval alleyway, sometimes with staircases, built in Auch
The Auscitaine pousterle refers to a steep alleyway sometimes fitted with stairs. These picturesque medieval alleys allowed the inhabitants of the fortified town to get water from the banks of the Gers. Built in the 14th century during the development of the town centre, they are the occasion for a beautiful and dizzying stroll. The town has five pousterles that link the upper and lower town: the Pousterle du Nord, the Pousterle de Las Oumettos (the little elms), the Pousterle des Couloumats (the pigeons), the Pousterle de l'Est and the Vieille Pousterle.

Elles sont au nombre de cinq et permettaient aux gens de la ville haute de se ravitailler en eau. Attention aux mollets car la pente est bien raide, mais cela est bien vite oublié lorsque l'on peut admirer les maisons à colombages qui les bordent. Certaines ont des noms typiquement gascons : la pousterle des Coulomats ( les pigeons), la pousterle des Oumettos ( les petits ormes ) qui évoquent bien le Sud-Ouest. A faire pour le plaisir des yeux et à son rythme!
