Camping Domaine le Poteau

Alan Rogers Review of Camping Domaine le Poteau

Domaine Le Poteau is a beautiful, quiet, natural site in the Gers department next to an Armagnac vineyard, and close to the wine-producing district of Côtes de Gascogne. The site has 20 large grass pitches for tents, motorhomes, campervans and touring caravans. All the pitches have electric hook-up point and enjoy views of the rolling landscape and the church spire of the pretty and welcoming village of Castelnau d’Auzan, just a few minutes’ walk away. Fiona and Alasdair host dinner evenings in the orchard three times a week, with a four-course French menu served as dusk falls. You may then need to burn some gastronomic calories off, not a problem, as the Midi-Pyrénées has around 30,000 kilometres of footpaths to tackle including loads of local routes. The site is a short walk from the medieval village of Castelnau-d'Auzan, on a hillside and in a wildlife haven, with well-maintained grounds and plenty of shaded spots. Its facilities include communal firepits, a play area and a small outdoor swimming pool. There are also 2 gites available to hire.

It's about a kilometre from the site to Castelnau-d'Auzan on the edge of Landes Forest, among hiking, cycling and mountain bike trails, and within easy reach of a three-hectare lake for fishing and boating. The village is surrounded by vineyards if you're up for investigating the local wines. For sightseeing days, the medieval town of Condom can be reached in about 30 minutes, and department capital Auch in just over an hour. Closer to home, the handsome town of Montréal or Montréal-du-Gers is within 15 minutes. Other options for days out include Guinlet golf course, about 10 minutes' drive away, or the swimming and adventure park at Lac d'Aignan and boat tours and châteaux in Nérac, all within 40-45 minutes.
