They say that the people of Gascony live longer than anywhere else in France which Gascons attribute to a daily dose of red wine, duck fat and garlic. The area is a paradise for gourmets, whether it’s foie gras, confit de canard, cassoulet or the wealth of local produce available at local markets. With more than 10 markets within a 40 minute drive of the moulin you don’t just shop for regional produce, you sample it too! There’s even Armagnac and wine at 9.00am. By the time it is noon you have usually sampled enough to skip lunch and go straight into siesta mode.
Gascony's mild climate has assured its wine-growing status since Roman times. Local cooperatives produce excellent and reasonably priced white, red and rosé.
Then there's the festivals: Jazz, children's, Bandas, Latino & country & western festival at Mirande which also attracts Harley Davidson die hards.
