Gimont is the 9th largest commune in the Gers in terms of population.
The town is crossed by a charming river, a tributary of the Garonne, the Gimone.
The town has many architectural buildings which give it a certain charm and make it a relatively popular town for tourists passing through the Gers.
Gimont is situated between Auch and Toulouse, the two largest cities in the area. It is therefore very well connected by train and TGV to the main cities of France, as there is a station in Gimont itself, where the TGV trains also pass through Auch and Toulouse.
All local services are available on site:
- sports facilities ;
- small and large shops ;
- schools and health facilities;
- municipal services (libraries, etc.).
The living environment is pleasant with many surrounding rivers and streams for bucolic walks and swimming in the summer.
Gimont has been a demographically stable town for a century. This means that there is enough work for people to stay in the town. Here are the main economic sectors in the Gers:
- the production of foie gras. The Gers is the leading producer of foie gras and second for duck. This involves numerous farms, as well as production plants. These industries need employees on a one-off or continuous basis to fill the various positions. Some companies are located in and around Gimont;
- maize production. As an essential cereal for feeding livestock, a lot of agricultural land is dedicated to the cultivation of maize (and to a lesser extent, other cereals). Gimont is no exception. Companies are also specialised in the manufacture and export of popcorn and other maize-based foods.
More specifically, Gimont is famous for its fat market. This is held once a week in the town. Only consumers are allowed to come and buy the products sold.
