Where to get married in the Gers?

The site you are going to select will set the tone for your wedding. For a wedding in the countryside, you will be charmed by the wine-growing valleys of Armagnac or the banks of the Baïse.

The Gers is a department bordering the Haute-Garonne, so you can celebrate your wedding in the Gers near Toulouse. So that your guests can enjoy the countryside, while having easy access to your reception hall. The Domaine du Meillon, for example, welcomes you between Gimont and L'Isle Jourdin, in a natural setting facing the Pyrenees.
