The Gers, renowned for its generous and authentic gastronomy, offers an unforgettable gourmet experience that is often referred to as "le Gers Gourmand". This region of south-west France celebrates the pleasures of the table through a variety of local produce and traditional dishes.

Gers culinary specialities include the delights of foie gras, duck confit, duck breast and duck products, making the Gers a benchmark for south-western cuisine. Local markets abound with fresh produce, artisan cheeses, famous wines (including Armagnac and Floc de Gascogne), and sweet delicacies such as Agen prunes.Gascony's restaurants, from country inns to Michelin-starred restaurants and farm inns, all showcase the flavours of the region.

Gastronomic festivals, local produce fairs and numerous culinary events allow visitors to fully immerse themselves in this unique taste experience.

When art comes to you...

Although the Gers is best known for its historic heritage and traditions, the modern art scene also has its place here. From contemporary art galleries in Auch to artists' studios scattered across the countryside, the Gers offers a fertile breeding ground for contemporary artistic expression.

Some local events showcase modern artists and ephemeral exhibitions can spring up, allowing visitors to discover a creative and innovative facet of the Gers.
