The May 16-17 2026 weekend smells of Gascony. The Gers opens its bastide squares to bargain hunters. 10 documented events on 2 days.
What do people look for in May in the Gers? Rustic furniture, embroidered linen, regional pottery. Hilltop villages bring out their treasures. The slopes turn green at 22°C in the afternoon. Sunflowers are not out yet.
For early birds? Real bargain hunters arrive at 7am. For wanderers? The mood stays gentle until 6pm. Here are 9 stops from the Pays d'Armagnac to the Lomagne.
