The Gers has a lot to offer historically. Here you can find traces of the Romans and of the Cathars. You can also walk in the footsteps of D’Artagnan, the best-known Gascon worldwide thanks to Alexandre Dumas, the musketeer of King Henry the Thirteenth!

Traces of the knights & the musketeers are to be found everywhere --- in Gascony there are more than 20 castles & forts worth seeing for every 10,000 inhabitants. To visit festivals, markets and museums is fun for not only fans of the Middle Ages!

For instance:

Mauvezin: archeological museum

Seissan: “Market as in the Olden Days”

Termes d’Armagnac: medieval festival

Larresingle: very small medieval town

Séviac: Gallo-Romanic villa

Lupiac: where D’Artignan was born
