Local Attractions
Piteou is ideally located near Marciac and a range of wonderful restaurants and eateries that showcase the region’s wonderful wine and local produce.
The Gers is full of things to do. There are weekly markets in at least 3 small towns nearby every week, where fresh produce from local farms is freely available. There are many lovely local wines and the Gers boasts the healthiest wine in the world: ‘Madiran’, a rich red wine that you can taste in the local vineyards. It is the home of duck and Armagnac.
For the more energetic there is a beautiful golf course that welcomes casual visitors at Chateau Pallanne (www.chateaugolfdepallanne.fr). Also, Auch has a golf course at Embats (www.golf-auch-embats.com).
Eating out in the local area is varied and ranges from simple to sophisticated. Bassoues has a charming restaurant under the eaves of the market, it offers cheap French cuisine and loads of ambience.
There are nearby lakes for fishing and you can also enjoy water-skiing, sailing and windsurfing. There is one such lake just a few kilometres away, where there are canoes and pedaloes for hire. The countryside is perfect for walking and biking. The Pyrenees are about an hour and a half away, where the mountains offer white water rafting, stunning walking and scenery.
In winter of course, the skiing is excellent in many resorts within the Pyrenees, with St. Lary Soulan around 90 minutes’ drive away.
Marciac is very close and for 2/3 weeks from the end of July into August has one of the largest Jazz Festivals in Europe, with some of the world’s finest musicians visiting every year.
