Estramiac

Estramiac is a small rural commune in the Gers department, in the Occitanie region, set within a landscape of gentle hills and valleys typical of Gascony. This unspoilt area is characterised by sunflower fields, traditional farmhouses and nearby bastide towns, offering a peaceful setting well suited to green tourism and exploring the Gers countryside. The proximity of Auch, the departmental capital, provides easy access to a richer historical heritage, including its listed Gothic cathedral. The region is also renowned for its gastronomy, with specialities such as foie gras, duck breast, armagnac and floc de Gascogne, often served at local farm inns. Walking and cycling enthusiasts will appreciate the numerous rural paths crisscrossing the area, while nearby village markets showcase local produce. Estramiac therefore serves as a quiet starting point for discovering an authentic side of the Gers, away from the tourist crowds, where nature, farming and traditional Gascon ways of life take centre stage.
