Camping Les Lacs de Courtès

The Gers is stuffed with heritage of the historical, cultural and tipples/vittles variety, much of it close to Camping Les Lacs de Courtes. Its local village is Estang, a traditional Gascon village between Bordeaux and Toulouse and with several shops and cafés; elsewhere, the area is filled with festivals, old villages museums, castles, churches, markets, river cruises... The Gascony region is famed in France for its food and drink: hunt down Gers gastronomy like foie gras, confit, Armagnac, Floc de Gascogne, Pousse Rapière liqueur and wild mushrooms, before/during trips to the Auch Cathedral Basilica in Gers capital Auch, or active days horse riding and playing tennis or golf. Fearless flyers can take to the skies in a light aircraft, although probably best not to have too much Gascon food first. The thermal baths of Barbotan are about 10 kilometres from the site, near a palm and banana tree filled park and two kilometres north of the lake Uby which has watersports and a sandy beach. Also have a race to the events of the Circuit Paul Armagnac in nearby Nogaro, once home to the French motorcycle Grand Prix.
