HISTORY
The department of the Gers was created during the French Revolution, in 1790, based upon an old province of Gascony : Armagnac.
The Armagnac groups together numerous little “areas”, each with different and charming characteristics. Our village, Saint-Orens-Pouy-Petit, is located in the heart of one of these, the “Tenarèze” (or Condomois).
