From Condom, electric vehicles can take advantage of the recharging station located on the allées Jean Jaurès or the one located on the Lidl car park, route d'Auch. VILLAGE OF BÉRAUT The village is made up of two heritage elements: the 12th century church of St Pierre, which was remodelled in the 14th century, and the castle with an ancient tower hall from the 11th century (private). VILLAGE OF SAINT-ORENS-POUY-PETIT Saint-Orens and Pouy-Petit were fortified islands at the top of the hills and were divided into two seigneuries for a long time. The village of Saint-Orens was founded in the 11th century, became English in the 13th century, and powerful walls were built. The main street leads to a gothic church (late 13th or early 14th century), as well as to the castle and its own church. It was part of the County of Gaure and Armagnac under French rule. The two villages had to be merged at the Revolution. VILLAGE OF SAINT-PUY Former capital of the County, Saint-Puy has the three characteristic plan units of Gascony: the sauveté is organized around the church and dominates the surrounding countryside; the castelnau, whose castle (open to visitors) was the birthplace of the Marshal of France Blaise de Monluc, built on the tip of the promontory; finally the heart of the village is organized like a bastide. In the past, these three units were joined by a fortified enclosure. VILLAGE OF LARROQUE-SAINT-SERNIN This former castelnau, then called St-Sernin-de-Larroque, became a commune in 1851 and was dependent on Saint-Puy. Larroque was named after the patron saint of the church, St-Sernin, bishop of Toulouse and martyr in the 3rd or 4th century, in order to distinguish it from the many "Larroque" villages in the region STONE OF THE 3 BISHOPS Legend has it that around 1450, the three bishops of Lectoure, Condom and Auch met here, at the limit of their respective lands. They dined at the same table, served by the lords of the neighbouring castles, and had three stones laid as a souvenir. VILLAGE OF ROQUEPINE A small, peaceful village renowned in the 19th century for its factory where tiles, bricks and lime were made in large quantities and of good quality. The main street that crosses the village links the Romanesque church dedicated to St-Antoine and Ste-Marthe to the castle, originally from the 13th century, probably rebuilt in the 15th century (private). FLOWERED VILLAGE OF BLAZIERT Classified as a 4-flowered village in the national award of Towns and Villages in bloom, the delicate village of Blaziert can be discovered by using your senses! On the old ramparts, a discovery trail winds through the village dotted with sundials of all kinds, between the schoolchildren's path and the path of scents. The sacristy of the 19th century church has a secret charcoal drawing of Christ on the cross on its walls VILLAGE OF CAUSSENS During the Hundred Years' War, King Edward I of England had a series of Gascon castles built to protect his town of Condom, including Caussens. Now destroyed, only the remains of the ramparts remain.
