Gers

Gers, situated amidst expansive valleys and quaint hilltop villages, is a treasure trove of agricultural abundance. The department is adorned with fields of sunflowers and maize, all set against the awe-inspiring backdrop of the snow-capped Pyrenees. Whether you're interested in boating, fishing, or waterskiing, Gers offers a plethora of lakes and rivers for outdoor activities. Additionally, its strategic location allows for easy access to both the Atlantic coast and the Pyrenean ski resorts.

A Glimpse into Local History and Culture

Auch, the capital of Gers, is renowned for its rich local gastronomy and the stunning Gothic Cathedral of Sainte Marie, which dates back to 1489. Overlooking the main square is a statue of Charles de Batz, the real-life inspiration for Dumas' D'Artagnan in "The Three Musketeers." It's no wonder that a local aperitif is named 'Pousse Rapiere,' a potent blend of orange Armagnac and sparkling white wine.

The Elixir of Royalty: Armagnac

Gers is the birthplace of Armagnac, a distinguished brandy produced in three distinct regions: Higher, Lower, and Tenareze. This age-old spirit traces its roots back to Gallo-Roman times, as depicted in the mosaics at the 14th-century Roman site at Seviac. Another local beverage worth mentioning is Floc, a delightful mix of grape juice and Armagnac, typically enjoyed chilled.

Property Types

The Gers department is known for its luxurious estates, particularly its chateaux that blend historical charm with modern amenities. These properties often come with expansive lands, perfect for those who appreciate both elegance and the great outdoors.

A Feast for the Senses

The culinary landscape of Gers is dominated by duck and goose dishes, such as foie gras, confit, and magret de canard. Local markets are a testament to the region's agricultural richness, offering an array of fresh produce, pates, cheeses, and sausages. The department has also embraced the trend of night markets during the summer months, allowing residents and visitors to shop during the cooler hours.

Accessibility and Wellness

Gers is not just about indulgence; it's also a hub for wellness. The department is home to three thermal spas: Barbotan-les-Thermes, Castera-Verduzan, and Lectoure, each offering a unique blend of relaxation and activities.
