SIMPLY GASCONY: L’ARRIVÉE DE L’AUTOMNE
-
Le temps a été exceptionnel en septembre, une période de l'année très appréciée en Gascogne. La première partie du mois d'octobre s’annonce tout aussi agréable, mais la deuxième devrait voir ses températures chuter jusqu' à moins de 20 degrés. Cependant, ses six semaines ensoleillées en automne font de cette saison une période idéale pour visiter la Gascogne. Ce beau temps signifie également que les agriculteurs ont terminé les récoltes de céréales, les cultures d’automne sont bien avancées, et les vendanges battent leur plein.
Le week-end dernier un festival de plantes a rassemblé près de 2000 personnes qui ont pu profiter de tous les dispositifs mis en place pour l’occasion: stands divers et variés, musique, ou encore jus de pomme fraîchement pressé.
Dans le sud de la France, les supermarchés sont majoritairement gérés par des franchises de la région, Ces dernières se fournissent auprès de de producteurs locaux spécialisés dans le vente de vins Gascons afin de mettre en avant les produits du terroir à des prix abordables.
Le blog du mois s’intitule : “ La cuisine gasconne ” et est une introduction à celui du mois prochain qui sera dédié aux idées de recettes et aux projets de l'année 2024 de deux partenaires de Simply Gascony : Laura Washburn et Dounia Silem.

Travel to Gascony is easy
Gascony is easily accessible from the UK by car. If you cross from Folkestone on the Channel Tunnel, then from Calais it will take around 10 hours’ driving on high quality ‘autoroutes’ to reach Auch, the capital of Gascony. The overnight Brittany Ferries route from Portsmouth to St Malo or Caen means less driving.
By train from Paris, you can be in Bordeaux in about 2 hours, Agen in about 3 hours and Toulouse in 4.5 hours. The quickest train journey from London to Agen takes only 7 hours. https://www.thetrainline.com/
You can reach Gascony from anywhere in the world by flying via Paris, London, or Madrid to one of our beautiful ‘gateway’ cities, Toulouse and Bordeaux. Flights are frequent and schedules now returning to something like normal, although there is the possibility of further strike action causing disruption this summer.
