Located in South-West France the Gers has got it all! Treasures were fought over for centuries by Vandals, Visigoths, Franks, Vikings, Romans and the English leaving a legacy of architecture, history and culture. Ma Maison Immobilier’s Top Ten reasons why Gascony is “the place to be”:
- Among the lowest crime rates in France.
- Micro climate: the Condom area benefits from a micro-climate due to the Atlantic Gulf Stream and the Pyrenees Mountains.
- Its nature and wildlife.
- Clean air and no heavy industry: the Gers is a “green longue” this means that no heavy industry is allowed.
