Armagnac Region (Gascony)
Armagnac, Floc, Côtes de Gascogne

 

The Armagnac region is situated in Gascony (Département Gers) in the south west of France. This region is divided into three individual Armagnac areas: 'Le Bas-Armagnac', 'La Ténarèze' with Condom as its capital (featuring the Armagnac Museum), and 'Le Haut-Armagnac'. The region is famous for its Armagnac (similar to Cognac), the Floc de Gascogne (aperitif) and red/white wines (Côtes de Gascogne).

Campsite La Brouquere lies right in the heart of the Armagnac region..... The town of Condom hosts the Armagnac museum..... Click here for a detailed map of the area around the campsite..... Experts obviously taste the difference between Armagnacs from these different areas. But laymen also taste the difference, especially when comparing a 6 year old against a 40-year-old Armagnac. Locals in the region are in any case very proud of this competitor to the well-known Cognac and they are more than happy to tell you about it!

The farm campsite La Brouquere is situated in the Ténarèze, the very heart of the Armagnac region. It is therefore not hard to find several Domaines offering a warm welcome, friendly hospitality and a taste of their own 'liquid gold'. But when visiting a domaine, make sure to have a taste of the Floc de Gascogne, a mixture of Armagnac and grapejuice.
