Auch, the capital of the département (and the historic capital of Gascony), is about 40km north east of Miélan. Condom, still in Gers, is another 40km heading north.
Auch is best known for its statue of d'Artagnan, Dumas' musketeer based on the real life Comte d'Artagnan, born nearby. Condom is best known for ... Armagnac!
