A taste of Gascony The Gers department is the most rural of the country. It offers a visual serenity which seems effortlessly matched by the even-temperedness of its inhabitants. Over the years, the Gers has maintained a solid reputation for its gastronomy. Numerous local markets display a large variety of fresh fruits and vegetables, cheeses and farm poultry. Of course, the unmissable foie gras, confits and magrets of duck are simply first-rate. It is no wonder so many chefs find a continuous inspiration to nurture and develop a food tradition that proposes constant delights.
