Gascogne has a glorious past. The one of the most popular king of France Henry IV – the first Bourbon on the French throne was gascon or bearnais (which was the other name of this provence). The travel to the history starts in the capital of Gascone – the small town Auch and leads you westward through Tarbes, Pau and ends in Basques country (Biarritz) or passing by Landes de Gascogne in Arcachon.
The landscape is mountainous, the towns and villages are perched on the hills. The picturesque rough architecture bings the visitor in the time of Middle age. The roads cross Gascogneare rich in old churches, castles and fortified farms. The visit of the castle of Pau is worst of the half day stop in Pau.
Gascogne has a special site which value is not really historical of architectural, but spiritual for the catholic Christian. The small Pyrenean village Loudres became in the mid 19 century the high spot of pilgrimage for Catholics of the world.
