Bonjour from the beautiful French countryside! 🇫🇷🐻
🐾
Today, I’ve arrived in the Gers department, a place where rolling fields, charming villages, and delicious local treats come together to create a true taste of rural France. This region is famous for its food and drink, and I can confirm—everywhere I turn, there’s something delightful to sniff out!
🐾
Plums, plums, and more plums! I’m surrounded by endless plum orchards, the very same ones that produce the famous Agen prunes. These little gems have been enjoyed in France for centuries, and I hear they make a very tasty tarte! I wonder if I’ll find some for a bear-sized snack? 🍑✨
🐾
Gers is also known for its gastronomic treasures from the rich, buttery foie gras to the flavorful wild mushrooms that pop up in the woodlands. And let’s not forget the local tipples! While I don’t drink alcohol, humans seem to love Armagnac brandy and the crisp white wines of Côtes de Gascogne. Santé! 🍷
🐾
Just beyond the orchards, I can see the pretty little village of La Romieu, with its medieval towers standing tall against the sky. But more on that later, I think this little bear is about to go on a plum-picking adventure first! 🌿🐻
🐾
Gers is rural France at its finest—slow, peaceful, and oh-so-tasty! Have you ever been? What’s your favorite countryside escape? ✨
