Chi siamo

Juilles is a picturesque village in the Gers with its quiet streets and its typical charm of the Gascon countryside, it offers a soothing and authentic atmosphere.

In the town of Juilles, Gallo-Roman remains have been discovered in different places: tegulae or even common ceramics. At a place called «Marrox», a sepulture containing 9 skeletons was discovered. The Gallo-Roman station at the origin of the municipality was located in a place called Guillas, 1.2 km from the current location. It was completely razed in the 9th century then the city was rebuilt around the 11th century.

At a place called La Grange, there is a monument of national interest to be discovered. It is listed on the secondary inventory of historical monuments. It belongs to the corpus of monastic barns and has an exceptional character: it is the only one in France that implements massive raw earth. It could be dated from the 16th century. At the time, there was no low opening and was surrounded by ditches. It is established on 3 levels. The first two intended for the storage of agricultural products whose conservation was ensured by the thickness of the walls, which is 2 m, and the small openings, ensuring thermal stability. It housed grain crops from the Abbot of Planselve. The 3rd level served as a residence. Built in a frame of wood and furnished with mud, it includes 3 large rooms served by a through corridor. In the 18th century, some amenities came to complete the comfort of this floor, notably a fireplace. The cadastre of 1832 shows that this main building belonged to a larger whole, with small annexes organized around a courtyard in the South and surrounded by a pond or an old moat. These remains were still visible in the 1990s.
