Auch
Auch is in the Gers department of the Midi-Pyrenees, is capital of the region. It was once capital of Gascony, the region that proceeded the Gers department.
Conveniently placed to explore the Gers region and the nearby towns of Fleurance and Condom, Auch is a quiet town and a pleasant town to pass a few hours.
In truth much of the town of interest is visible in the photograph below, with the cathedral set on a rocky outcrop being the 'centrepiece of the town. The cathedral is highly regarded (for the stalls and the stained glass windows above all), as is the nearby tower - the Tour d'Armagnac (a 14th century prison).
Below the cathedral and down the 'Escalier Monumental' (a much better phrase than 'enormous staricase'), Auch old town contains some interesting medieval buildings - the tourist office seem to have grabbed the best one!
