Gascony
Gascony (French: Gascogne, pronounced ; Gascon Occitan: Gasconha, pronounced ) is an area of southwest France that constituted a province of France prior to the French Revolution. It is currently divided between the Aquitaine région (départements of Landes, Pyrénées-Atlantiques, south and west of Gironde, and south of Lot-et-Garonne) and the Midi-Pyrénées région (départements of Gers, Hautes-Pyrénées, southwest of Tarn-et-Garonne, and west of Haute-Garonne).
