Fources

Fources is a small village in the Gers department, in south-western France, notable for its circular central square, an unusual layout among the bastide towns of the region. The village holds the label of one of the Most Beautiful Villages of France, reflecting the quality of its architectural heritage, including half-timbered houses, stone arcades and a medieval château that has since been restored. The River Auzoue runs through and alongside the village, providing a peaceful setting for walks. The surrounding Gers countryside, with its gentle hills, vineyards and farmland, is well suited to exploring nearby villages and the wider Gascon landscape on foot or by bicycle. Fources lies close to Condom, a larger town offering more shops and services, making the village a quiet base for discovering the Armagnac region, well known for its brandy production. Life here moves at an unhurried pace, ideal for a relaxing stay away from urban bustle, with a handful of local shops and dining options showcasing regional Gascon produce.
