This is taken in Gascony, not far from d'Artagnan hometown. D'Artagnan dreams of being a musketeer and leaves his father farm to join up. At first he is not eligible to become a musketeer, but he forms a strong friendship with Athos, Porthos and Aramis, from which many films and recently a series has grown.

What a coincident, I was just thinking about these musketeers this morning..for no reason and then I found this.
Stunning view btw

It is a great story. There is a huge statue in Auch to d'Artagnan, and in the town of Condom (very unfortunate name) there are statues to d'Artagnan, Athos, Porthos and Aramis.
It is a great place to go walking, but also has loads of mosquitoes at the moment!!!!

Thank you for the insights..The name got me laughing though 😅

I know, my husband had an art exhibition in that town and all the Brits we invited found it hysterical.
