EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the picturesque town of Auch, situated in the south-west region of France, as it appeared around 1835. The photograph, taken from across the meandering Gers River, offers a general view of the historic town centre with its impressive architecture and vibrant urban landscape. Auch, the ancient capital of the Gascony province, has a rich history that dates back to the Gallo-Roman period. The town's most notable landmarks include the imposing Gothic cathedral of Saint-Just and Saint-Pastor, which dominates the skyline, and the elegant Town Hall, built in the 16th century. The red-tiled rooftops and winding cobblestone streets add to the charm of this charming French town. The Gers River, which flows gently through the town, has played a significant role in the development of Auch. The river provided a vital source of water for the town's inhabitants, and its banks were once lined with mills and other industries. Today, the river remains an essential part of the town's identity, attracting visitors from around the world who come to explore its history and beauty. This photograph, a window into the past, invites us to imagine the daily life of the people of Auch during the 19th century. We can almost hear the sound of the river, see the bustling activity in the marketplace, and feel the warmth of the sun on our faces as we stroll through the streets of this enchanting town. The image is a testament to the enduring charm of Auch and the rich history of France.
