Bernata Dessus vacation rental is beautifully poised on the coast of Gers, a quaint town with the languid pace of a France colonial village. |

The Gers partially covers what used to be known as Gascony, mostly famous for its culture of good food, drinks and company.
population density 20-25p/km²
Depending on the season and availability you can get both vegetables and animal produce from neighbouring farms. There are butchers, bakers, small supermarkets and other shops in the nearby villages of Villecomtal and Miélan, which also have weekly markets. There are several picturesque villages within easy reach, and besides Lourdes, there are several tourist attractions at Tarbes and Auch. Of course the Pyrénées offer a wide range of excursions, such as rafting and paragliding, La Mongie\'s ski-resort, the planetarium on the Pic du Midi, the Tourmalet pass and not too far away UNESCO’s natural heritage sites, Gavarnie and Mont Perdu. Furthermore, the Gers is known for its music festivals during summer, such as the world famous festival “Jazz in Marciacâ€, the Country festival at Mirande and Latin at Vic Fezensac. But our own \'festival\' runs continuously: on a background chorus of the sound of silence, ‘our music’ is perpetually composed and performed by nature: AWAY FROM IT ALL !!
Away from it all !!
