The Gers is the capital for producing fois gras which is served in most restaurants. The region is also where D'Artagnan the musketeer lived and in Lupiac you can visit the museum. Its close proximity to Spain offers a big spanish influence and you will find a bull ring in most local towns. The gers has numerous opportunity for fishing, in the lakes and the Adour River, permits can be purchased locally.
