Getting married in the Gers

The Gers is a rural region in the south of France, located at the gates of Gascony. It has very diverse landscapes, to the north of the valleys and vineyard hillsides and to the south, its balcony over the Pyrenees.

It is therefore the ideal place to celebrate a traditional wedding. The Gersois are authentic and bon vivant characters. They will know how to welcome you and make this important moment in your life as a couple festive.
