This ancient Gallo-Roman city steeped in history, located in the Gers department, hides many treasures that are sure to delight and amaze you!
Rich cultural heritage, shopping, festivals, swimming, hiking and other outdoor activities — make the most of your stay at Hôtel Le Robinson to (re)discover the charming town of Auch, in Gascony.
Centuries of history have shaped the current heritage of Auch, revealed through its monuments, narrow streets, character buildings and the ever-present nature of its parks and gardens.
Visiting Auch, capital of Gascony
Begin your visit of the town in the historic centre. Step inside the Cathédrale Sainte-Marie, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and discover its treasures: stained-glass windows, organs and exceptional wooden choir stalls.
During your visit, you will almost certainly climb the 234 steps — spanning a 35-metre elevation — of the "Monumental Staircase" linking the historic town to the new town. This architectural feat was completed in 1863.
At the first landing of the staircase, opposite the fountain, you can admire the contemporary sculpture "L'Observatoire du temps" by Catalan artist Jaume Plensa.
Then relax with a refreshing break in one of the many parks the town of Auch has to offer, awarded 4 flowers in the national competition of flowering towns and villages.
After a great day exploring the town, come and rest at Hôtel Le Robinson, which offers all the comfort you need to recharge.
