The Gers<br />
The Gers, or Gascony some call it, is one of<br />
the most rural regions in all of France. You’ll<br />
find it in southwest France, just west of<br />
Toulouse but a world apart from the buzzing,<br />
colourful metropolis.<br />
A <strong>25</strong> minute drive from Toulouse airport will<br />
bring you to L’Isle Jordain, a great little town<br />
on the edge of a region that on a map looks<br />
decidedly green. There are no big cities here.<br />
<strong>No</strong> high speed rail services either, though<br />
you can take the train from Toulouse to<br />
Auch, the capital of Gers.<br />
There are no motorways in Gers. <strong>No</strong>t one.<br />
And there’s no mass tourism.<br />
The Gers is the real France you thought<br />
didn’t exist anymore. Bucolic, beautiful and<br />
bubbling with bonhomie.
