The french tuscany

Today Le Gers – but still Gascogne

Le Gers is unspoiled, unique, unchanged and unforgettable.

In the heart of former Gascogne you find Gers. It is often described as «the French Tuscany», as the nature is somewhat similar. This is the country of d’Artagnan, fortified towns, Armagnac and Foie Gras de Canard. It offers luminous landscapes, flavours and tones of character, a philosophy of the time and a culture of delight to all senses.
