What to do with your umbrella

Sheltered... but cultivated!

When the sky is grey, it's a good time to lift your spirits (and stay dry, let's be honest).

  • The Musée des Beaux-Arts de Mirande: houses a fine permanent collection of old and contemporary works. Every summer, temporary exhibitions enhance the visit, offering a fresh look at a variety of themes.
  • Le donjon de Bassoues: immerses you in medieval history. Climb to the top and discover the architecture of this defensive tower while enjoying a panoramic view of the Gers countryside (clouds permitting!).

Stories, games or a big screen

Is it raining? Now there's a good excuse to stay inside and have some fun!

  • The games library: board games to discover on site, from the quietest to the craziest (without having to mop up the rain).
  • The Mirande and Montesquiou media libraries: books, albums and sometimes even animations... perfect for taking refuge between two imaginary worlds.
  • The Mirande cinema: a good canvas and soft armchairs, you can almost forget about the weather.
