FIND YOUR DREAM HOME IN THE GERS
Local property agent Julia Grange says "Gers is often described as the Tuscany of France;
others have compared it to Devon. It is a very rural, agricultural area, with fresh, clean air
as there is no polluting industry. It produces some excellent wines such as Madiran
(scientifically proven to be the best red wine for your health), and is world-famous for its
Armagnac. There are lots of pretty bastide towns, one of which, Larressingle, is known as
a mini-Carcassonne. I live in the west of the Gers. From here I can be surfing or swimming
on the Atlantic coast in 1h30, winter skiing in Cauterets in 1h30, and in Spain in 2h.
There are lots of walking groups and cycling groups and for sports fans, rugby is very
popular here. There are also several golf courses. In summer, the world famous Jazz
festival in Marciac is very popular with many big-name stars appearing. The nearest
airport with UK links is Tarbes-Lourdes (Ryanair), but there is also Toulouse, Bordeaux
and Biarritz." There are a few of Julia's top property picks for the Gers:
This village home in Fusterouau is renovated
and with its small garden would be an ideal
second home. Only 8km to the popular
market village of Aignan and 133km to
Toulouse airport.
