Wild orchids in the Gers
South west france

In the varied flora and fauna of the Gers in Southwest France you will find a large number of wild orchids. Several of these beautiful orchids can also be found at Camping La Brouquere. A 2ha large and freely accessible field is part of the campsite terrain. On this large field the soil is quite poor and is not fertilized. In addition to many other flowers and plants, many wild orchids find their ideal living environment here. Below is an overview of such wild orchids found in this field.
