Marciac, Medieval bastide town in Gers, France

The central square of Marciac features covered arcades and timber-framed houses arranged in a perfect grid pattern dating from the 13th century.

Founded in 1298 by Guichard de Marciac, the town emerged as a strategic settlement during the Hundred Years War between France and England.

The Jazz in Marciac festival, established in 1978, transforms this small town into an international music venue with a 6,000-seat marquee each summer.

The town hall, located in a former convent, provides administrative services to residents from Monday through Friday between 9 AM and 5 PM.

Local schools integrate jazz education into their regular curriculum, making music education a fundamental part of students' daily learning experience.
