The very thinly populated Département
Gers is situated in the South-West
of France between Dordogne and Pyrenees and between the
Atlantic Ocean and the Mediteranean Sea. The Gers originates
from the French Revolution when in 1790 the province Gascony
was subdivided. The Gers is now part of the region Midi-Pyrénées.
There is hardly any industry in this departement but you will find
an almost untouched landscape with a magnificent scenery of
sloping hills and valleys with magnificent views as far as
the Pyrenees.
The Gers offers magnificent sightseeing walking and biking trips through the inviting vineyards of the Armagnac. There are a lot of tourist attractions such as visits to medieval castles, abbeys, cathedrals and fortified villages where still the presence of d'Artagnan the Musketeer lingers. Famous (at least with the French) is the Gascony region for its culture of wining and dining and all sorts of musical festivals.

Tourism in the Gers is strongly being stimulated. For example,
tourists can benefit from several discounts proposed in an
informative tourist discount booklet called 'Le Passeport
Privilège'. Also, mass tourism is unknown in this traditional
part of France, meaning that there are almost never long waiting
queues. A perfect holiday destination!
