The monastery 'Abbaye de Flaran' is located in the Vallée de la Baïse just before Valence-sur-Baïse, just 14km east of Camping La Brouquere. This attraction is therefore easy to reach by bike!

The monastery was converted several times until it was bought by the Département du Gers in 1972, after which an extensive renovation was started. Nowadays many cultural activities are organized in the monastery.

Free visit to the Château with an exhibition explaining the history and techniques used to make Armagnac. The old armory, with walls more than 2 meters thick, houses one of the Armagnac aging cellars. You can watch a movie about the vine and practice sensory animation with smell organs. The old kitchen from the 16th century surprises with the originality of the vault built like a baker's oven. The walk ends with a tasting of the estate's products, for sale in the castle shop.
