France: HIKING & GOURMET IN THE GASCOGNE REGION

Between Culture and Gastronomy

Spend a week soaking up the Gascon way of life, with its world-renowned savoir-vivre, the charm of bastides and villages steeped in history, renowned gastronomy and that lilting, proud accent.

The Gers is one of a handful of regions whose strength lies in their ability to retain their authenticity. There are no freeways or airports here, so taking your time is important! In fact, Gascony was ranked as the second best place to live in the world by the British newspaper “The Telegraph”. After a stopover in Auch, the historic capital of Gascony, you’ll stay in a magnificent farmhouse renovated into a charming 3-star hotel in the heart of the Gers countryside. You’ll set off to discover an extraordinary heritage, alternating short hikes, visits to emblematic sites and villages in the region, and meetings with passionate producers and farmers. A gentle stay in the land of good living.
