VILLAGES IN BLOOM

In the footsteps of d’Artagnan

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.
