Visit Montreal-du-Gers, France

Montreal-du-Gers is a traditional bastide town of south-west France, founded (as were many) by Alphonse de Poitiers.

The bastide towns were the new towns of the 13th century, and usually have a central square surrounded by arcades (sheltered edges, accessed by large stone arches). The streets running to the centre are straight, and carefully planned to give equal space to each house.

The 13th century church in Montreal-du-Gers, as in most bastide towns, is found adjacent to the central square. You can admire it from the square as you take a rest at one of the cafes in the square.

Montreal-du-Gers is on the Le Puy en Velay to Santiago de Compostella pilgrimage path, and has the unusual distinction that we actually saw a couple of heavily laden 'pilgrims' making their way through the village. Visit the tourist office to find out more about the path and other walks in the region.
