In the heart of the Gers countryside, 20 minutes’ drive from Auch, in the village of Marsan, the Domaine Aramis campsite is located.

With two bedrooms, a shower room, separate WC, large equipped kitchen, and vast terrace enjoying a view over the campsite lake, it has everything to appeal to you!
Although the holiday rental offering proves both comprehensive and high quality, this is not the only attraction on this Gers establishment. From the moment you arrive, you’ll be immediately won over by the swimming area. This consists of a lovely heated swimming pool with a paddling pool section - shallower for the very young, and covered section, home to a second pool. In addition, a large water slide which is 70 metres long, delights children and their parents alike!
Are you a little peckish? Go to Le Tiki, the friendly bar inspired by street food. You’ll enjoy excellent cocktails here, and have lovely times with family or friends on the large terrace in the shade of parasols. In the high season, tapas to share, cooked meats and cheese boards, hot dogs or pizzas are on offer, to enjoy on-site or take away.
Nature, sport and wellness on the programme for your holiday
During the high season, children can meet up every day at the Mizzi Club to take park in arts and crafts workshops, treasure hunts, and play and sports activities, organized by the campsite activity team. For older children and adults, there are beach volleyball and pétanque tournaments, water polo matches, bodybuilding in the gym and fitness classes on the programme. Not forgetting mini-golf, tennis and ping-pong for the entire family.
During your stay on the Domaine Aramis campsite in Marsan, also treat yourself to a massage, SPA or aromatherapy session at the wellness centre. Moreover, every night of the week, a convivial event is organized on-site: apéritif games, local market to stock up with souvenirs, quiz, evening pool party and theme nights; dancing, karaoke, West Indian gastronomy, sangria etc.
Lastly, the campsite lake proves a favourable site for fishing. With a little patience, roach, tench and other gudgeons will fill your landing net.

You can do the Montbert trip, Sentier des Limacs path or even the Parcours de Vitalité du Bois d'Auch forest trail!
An enchanted interlude in the Gers
The Gers department is the perfect area for a holiday in “Slow life” mode, as close as possible to nature. Take your children for an enjoyable time at the Ferme du Hitton, a donkey-breeding farm in the Pyrenees. You can stroke the donkeys and their mothers and help look after them, for example with milking, before leaving for a walk in the neighbouring fields.
Walk round Sarrant, one of the loveliest medieval villages in France (with the “Plus Beaux Villages de France” cultural heritage designation). As soon as you’ve gone through the arched gateway, you’ll fall in love with the cobbled streets and magnificent Saint-Vincent church. Before leaving, stock up on Gers gastronomy. You have the pick of foie gras (duck or goose liver speciality), confit (preserved duck meat), fresh grilled duck breast, dried duck breast, cous farcis (stuffed duck neck) and fritons (goose scratchings). Also available are aiguillettes (duck tenderloin), roasted or grilled poultry, duck tajine, cassoulet (meat and bean casserole), rillettes (potted meat) and pâtés.
Your stay on the Domaine Aramis campsite might also prove a great opportunity to visit the vast city of Toulouse, one hour’s drive from Marsan. In the “Ville Rose” (a name reflecting the pink stone of the city’s buildings), cross the Place du Capitole square, and admire the Saint-Sernin basilica, the largest Romanesque church in France. Go round the Cité de l'Espace (space park and interactive museum), to see replicas of the Ariane 5 rocket and Mir space station…
