About Auch

Auch is a cooperative in southwestern France. Situated in the area of Occitanie, it is the capital of the Gers division. Auch is the chronicled capital of Gascony. The River Gers moves through the town. Auch is known for its Renaissance Cathedrale Sainte-Marie with its glorious organ, cut slows down and climbed recolored glass windows, La Tour d'Armagnac – a 14th century jail, just as a statue of d'Artagnan who depended on the genuine individual, Charles de Batz, Comte d'Artagnan brought into the world adjacent in the chateau de Castelmore, and expounded on by Alexandre Dumas.

Auch is an extremely antiquated town, whose settlement was noted by the Romans amid their success of the territory during the 50s bc. Around then, it was settled by an Aquitanian clan referred to the Romans as the Ausci. Their name for the town was Climberrum or Elimberris. This has been likely etymologized from the Iberian iltir and a related of the Basque berri "new", albeit another Iberian settlement in Granada recorded by the Romans as "Iliberi" most likely had no contact with proto-Basque talking people groups. The regular term Augusta was eventually dropped and the name developed into the advanced Gascon Aush and French Auch. The town turned into the seat of a Catholic archdiocese which endured until the French Revolution. Its ecclesiastical overseers guaranteed the title of Primate of Aquitaine, Novempopulana, and Navarre.
