Here, “simple” and “authentic” are not pompous marketing catchphrases, but the reflection of a department which remains above all a beautiful countryside for those who live there. A destination where you should not hesitate to meet real people. Here are five 100% Gers experiences to live that we recommend you share with us.
Participate in a distillation evening in winter
From the end of October to the beginning of February, it is distillation time. As part of the Flame of Armagnac, the Armagnac still moves from estate to estate to make young wine; a brandy that will age for many years before becoming a Armagnac. Without waiting, we party to celebrate the new harvest.
Have a picnic at the Durban mill, view of the Pyrenees, in spring
This is probably the most recent windmill put into service in France (in 2018).
On Sunday, don't miss the demonstrations and in good weather, enjoy the picnic tables with ease.
Make a paquito in a village festival to the sound of a banda, during the summer
Paquito is a party anthem from the South-West... When the banda sings it, the crowd will sing at the top of their lungs, people will sit in lines undulating to the rhythm of the music, and the most daring will jump for a Gascon slam.
Discover the Cirque Actuel in Auch during the autumn holidays
37 years of festival make Auch an essential place for current circus in France. Every year, the companies offer new creations and, on the stands, programmers from all over the world, young artists from circus schools and you rub shoulders: informed public or not.
Have a fat market before the end of year holidays
What if this year, towards the end of autumn, you made your own foie gras for the holidays? To fat markets you will find fresh foie gras, ready to cook.
Our grandmothers will also be there for the (duck) carcasses that they will offer us in jars: confit, stuffed neck, friton and other specialties. Here “we eat well!” ".
