Gers - Your Holiday Vacation Destination in the South of France In Gers the landscape is for the most part agricultural, with softly rolling hills, with beautiful river valleys such as the Baise, where you can rent a boat to cruise up to the Garonne. Villages are often in the style of Bastide, and from many a vantage point one can see the Pyrenees. Local gastronomical specialties are Armagnac brandy, Côtes de Gascogne wines, Floc de Gascogne (Mistelle, a fortified sweet wine made of 1/3 of armagnac and 2/3 of fresh grape juice both from the wine area Armagnac / Côtes de Gascogne), and foie gras (made from the liver of a duck or goose that has been specially fattened). Other crops are corn, colza, sunflowers and grain. The Gascon language not often heard, is a dialect of Occitan. D'Artagnan, the muskateer of the 3 muskateers was created by Alexandre Dumas, and embodied the spirit of the Gascon. A museum to d'Artagnan is found in the Gersois village of Lupiac. Weather Summers are very hot and dry, and Auch is one of the hottest cities of France, with often more than 300 sunny days in a year. |
