VILLAGES
IN BLOOM
In
the footsteps of dArtagnan
Welcome to the heart of Gascon history.
Through this colourful past you will venture into the
romantic world of castles, fortified towns, walled villages,
sanctuary townships and castelnaux villages built around
castles. An authentic journey through time: starting
with the age of the Romans, then the time of the Lords
and Cadets of Gascony... When you roam around Gascony's
highways and byways, discovering its monuments, it is
like plunging into the memory of the Gers, and reliving
its history all over again.
