 Character, monuments and history of the canton 
Fourcès is a typical medieval bastide, a little village where the houses are built in a circle to allow a proper defence.

Because of its landscapes and its  vineyards the Gers is now and then called by some the "Tuscany of France". The summers are long and warm; the winters are soft and short.

In the neighbourhood are numerous old castles, little medieval walled villages, small cities built around castles and "sacred" places, because the Via Podiensis and the Way of St. James of Compostela are going through the Montréal and left their traces.
