Country of d’Artagnan and the musketeers, our region holds the key to a charming stay in the countryside. It offers rolling and luminous landscapes, flavours and tones of character, a philosophy of the time, a culture of delight to all the senses, leisure activities propitious for recharging one’s batteries and tourism to be discovered all year round from fortified towns to medieval castles.
The fortified towns, small castles and small free villages contain the monuments of the civil and religious heritage, wealth of an ancient history. The routes to Santiago de Compostela go up and down the department. Villages with character invite you to thousands of detours in the Gers.
As the spring shows up, the sound of the bandas (brass bands), Gascon, traditional, Latin, jazz, country, or classical rhythms… ring out in the village squares.
Corridas, bull races and traditional games enliven the whole area and remind visitors that Gascons are Iberians’ cousins.
Whether they are festive, sports-orientated or cultural, our local events will delight you an provide you with wonderful memories, for Gascony knows how to talk to your heart!
