Le Gers-

The 'Gers' is the best kept secret of south west France with its green rolling hills
scattered with oak and pine forest, interrupted by fields of yellow sunflowers and
vineyards dotted with cypress trees ( referred to by the locals as the 'Tuscanny of
France).
It boasts 300 days of sunshine plus wonderful local food, wines and its famous
Armagnac brandy to be sampled at local fetes ( during the summer ) and at
markets ( all year round ).

Sleepy medieval hilltop bastide villages are to be found in abundance amidst very
beautiful and picturesque landscape views to include the distant mountains of the
Pyrenees to the south.   The region is steeped in history and is the birthplace of
the legendary d'Artagnan.

A relatively unspoilt and peaceful lifestyle - hard to find in todays fast paced life,
and pure 'nirvana' for cyclists.

You can experience this for yourself on one of our many adventure holidays @
