Some herds of Aquitane Blond, beef cattle. To the South, the Gers. A more open, rolling landscape of great fields of wheat, maize and barley. Garlic is grown in great abundance to go with the many flocks of Duck and Geese which are raised here for the traditional cuisine of Gascony. Winter is in effect December and January.
Snow is a stranger to the area.
It arrives suddenly with warm weather and bright blue skies to announce that Spring is on its way. The Forsythia is budding, the beautiful yellow clouds of Mimosa are bursting all over the department and the daffodils are busy pusing up their heads. March is a month of 'April showers' and more changeable than other months. April heralds Spring and continually improving weather. June to mid September is our Summer.
