Gascon

Gascon refers to both a historical and cultural identity associated with the Gascony region in southwestern France. Known for its distinct language, Occitan (especially the Gascon dialect), Gascon culture is characterized by its unique traditions, culinary practices, and storytelling. The term may also evoke the image of the "Gascon" character, often depicted as brave, boisterous, and somewhat boastful in literature, as exemplified by the character D'Artagnan in Alexandre Dumas' "The Three Musketeers." Overall, Gascon encapsulates a rich cultural heritage and pride within the context of French history.
