An exceptional heritage
Gascony is packed with remarkable historic sites. You'll visit Auch, capital of the region and home of d'Artagnan, with its majestic Sainte-Marie cathedral; La Romieu, a listed village and its UNESCO World Heritage-listed collegiate church; and Condom, an ancient episcopal city dominated by its cathedral and cloister. Between bastides, cobbled streets and rural panoramas, each stop reveals an authentic facet of the South-West.

A gourmet and convivial immersion
It's impossible to talk about Gascony without mentioning its gastronomy! This trip invites you to savor local specialties: foie gras, confits, Gers wines and, of course, Armagnac, the symbol of Gascon savoir-faire. Visits to producers, tastings and a gourmet lunch will punctuate your trip, for a complete sensory experience.
