Tourist Information and places to visit
Larressingle is on one of the major pilgrimage paths to Santiago de Compostella, a path that also passes through nearby Condom and Montreal-du-Gers.
It is a small village, almost completely surrounded by heavy fortified walls dating from the 13th century.
Almost 300 metres around, the village is entered by its only gate, across a pretty little bridge. Within the walls are a small church, Roman style and basic in implementation, a small chateau and various smaller buildings and houses, mostly set with their backs to the fortified walls.
Although small, Larressingle is a 'must see' village if you are in the region. It really is an interesting and lovely little place and very well worth seeing.
(We visited in October - I think many of the houses are gift / local produce shops during the summer season)
At the bottom edge of Larressingle there is an 'exhibition' of medieval weaponry - essentially they have recreated a medieval siege camp at the walls of the fortified town. Entertaining for the children especially (and me) to see the large stone throwers, battering rams etc that would have been used to attack such a village.
