| The Gers, also known as
Gascony, is one of the most appealing and virgin parts of France, if not of
Europe. With its picturesque hills, dense oak woods and hedged fields, the Gers
is one of the few remaining regions where the eco system remains balanced and
the atmosphere unpolluted. |

|
| Situated between the Mediterranean
Sea and the Atlantic Ocean, it enjoys a mild, stable climate with plenty of
sunshine. Large Palm trees grow in many gardens and snow in winter is rare. |

The historically interesting Auch, with its
impressive, ancient architecture, is the official residence of the Department
of the Gers. It has 25,000 inhabitants, a small airport and two golf courses.
The city of Toulouse, with its international airport, its shopping centres and
its old, traditional University, can be reached in around one hour by car.
Lourdes is only 90 km away and both the Atlantic Ocean (the dunes of Arcachon,
Biarritz) and the Mediterranean Sea (Sete, Narbonne, and Perpignan) are 200 km
away. |

| |
| The Pyrenees are also very
close and in a little less than an hours travelling you can find the most
wonderful skiing slopes and plenty of walking and climbing facilities. |
