Holiday Accommodation Aignan

Aignan holiday villas are set in the idyllic Gers department in southwestern France. Here you’ll find green rolling hills and a host of small villages and towns in one of the most sparsely populated regions in the country. It’s a delightfully rural place, with sleepy farms scattered across a landscape that is just perfect for exploring by foot, bike or car. At holiday accommodation in Gers you’ll also be able to enjoy some excellent cuisine in an area noted for its cheeses and foie gras. Dotted around the hills surrounding the town are the Cote de Gascon vineyards, which generally produce a white wine. During your stay at an Aignan holiday home farmhouse you might like to take the opportunity to learn more about the local viticulture at one of the many estates in the area.

During your visit to an Aignan self-catering villa it’s well worth heading out into the Gers region to explore some of the charming old towns found here. Auch is a good place to start, and sits a little way east of Aignan holiday rentals. This town is the capital of the department and is famous for its beautiful medieval centre. The cathedral here was an important landmark on the ancient pilgrimage trail to Santiago de Compostela in western Spain. There’s also a tower in the town that dates back to the 1300s and served as a prison until the 19th Century. North of holiday accommodation in Aignan is Eauze, a pretty town known for its excellent market, which takes place on Thursday mornings. It is also the capital of Armagnac, which has been distilled in the area for hundreds of years.
