In the Gers—the heart of Gascony and the Southwest—the goose is more than just a game; it is an integral part of the local landscape, alongside its counterpart, the duck. Their presence here dates back to antiquity; the Romans were already familiar with *foie gras*—proof that this quintessential festive delicacy has long held a place at our tables for every occasion.

Come and discover these premium products—goose and duck *foie gras*—as well as the rest of the bird, which yields delicious *confits*, *magrets* (duck breasts), *aiguillettes* (thin strips of breast meat), gizzards, and more. It is the perfect example of a gourmet countryside getaway.

The *marché au gras* (fatty poultry market) in Samatan takes place every Monday morning, operating on a direct-from-producer-to-consumer basis. All products are subject to rigorous oversight by veterinary services. These markets are defined by the high quality of their goods, traditional small-scale farming methods, exceptional freshness, and strict hygiene standards.

The "carcass" market offers whole geese and ducks, allowing you to prepare your own *confits*, *magrets*, and *aiguillettes*. To make things easier, an on-site butchery service is available, helping you prepare these delicious ingredients and making them easier to transport.

The *marché au gras* itself focuses on the sale of fresh, whole goose or duck *foie gras*.
