The Gers

Discover the charm of the Gers: the heart of Gascony

The Gers, located in the enchanting southwest of France, is a hidden gem where you can experience the true essence of la douce France. Think rolling hills, vast sunflower fields and picturesque villages where time seems to stand still. Here you can taste the good life, surrounded by vineyards, castles and bastides full of history.

Let yourself be guided along the famous Route des Bastides et des Castelnaux and discover medieval towns such as Larressingle (also known as the "Carcassonne of the Gers") and Montréal-du-Gers . Visit the majestic cathedral of Auch , capital of the Gers, and climb the imposing steps for a breathtaking view of the city and the Gers valley.

For wine lovers, a tour of the region’s Armagnac distilleries is a must. Here you can taste the famous Armagnac and local wines such as Floc de Gascogne, straight from the winegrower. The markets are also a feast for the senses: in charming villages such as Vic-Fezensac and Condom , you’ll find colourful weekly markets full of duck breast, foie gras, walnuts, garlic and fresh cheeses.

For the sporty types, the Gers offers endless possibilities. Cycle on quiet, winding roads through the countryside or walk through the Baïse valley . Water lovers can canoe on the Baïse or swim in natural lakes.

In the evening you can enjoy the peace, the setting sun and the delicious regional dishes on a terrace. Here everything revolves around slow living, good food and pure enjoyment.
