Fleurance

We decided to spend another day here at Fleurance - a great place to while away time. We are currently joined by about another 15 vans without being on top of each other. A very popular spot for the French.

A few notes on ARMAGNAC:

Armagnac brandy is distilled in the Gers Department of SW France. As opposed to  Cognac, which is dominated by big brands, Armagnac is made mostly by small family operations.

Armagnac is one of the world’s most expensive brandies. It is also one of the leading products of southwest France: approximately 6 million bottles are produced annually. Similar in style to Cognac, its more famous neighbor, Armagnac’s single distillation leaves more individual flavours in the spirit. The majority of small, independent producers offer direct sale to the public.
