St. Mary's Cathedral in Auch is justifiably considered as the most majestic and popular historic building in Gascony and it has been the subject of numerous academic studies, which are detailed but difficult to understand. In this guidebook, the authors have put the emphasis on explanation, clarity and beautiful images.
Father Jacques Fauré visits and takes visitors round Auch Cathedral in the little free time left to him by his twofold function as chancellor of the archbishopric and parish priest. To celebrate the cathedral's 500th anniversary (1989-1990), he wrote the script for a slideshow entitled, "St. Mary's in Auch, a Cathedral from A to Z".
Georges Courtès, Emeritus Professor, chairs Gers' archaeological society, which has its head office on Place Saluste-du-Bartas in Auch. In addition to his contributions to articles and books on Gascony (notably Chemin de Saint-Jacques-de-Compostelle and Gers, coeur de Gascogne published by Editions Sud-Ouest), he chairs Gers "county council's" Committee for Territorial Development, Economic Affairs and Tourism.
