Tourism and Sightseeing in the Gers, Gascony

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 climate in the Gers is especially in the summer great for camping: lots of sunshine, not much wind and only occasionally some rain.

D'Artagnan: the most famous musketeer born in the Gers...The department Gers is still very much authentic, unspoiled and hardly known by tourists. But in this part of France there are great hiking and cycling tracks through promising vineyards (Armagnac, Côtes de Gascogne), golden wheat fields and seas of magnificent sunflowers. 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 events and music festivals such as the annual jazz festival in Marciac.
