Geology and relief

Lomagne is divided into two regions: the so-called limestone Lomagne and the earth Lomagne. Flamarens is located in the latter. This region of Gers is characterized by highly technical agriculture: wheat and maize, but also melon and garlic, and seeds, represent the main activity of a sparse population. Backyard livestock also play a major role. Flamarens is located in seismicity zone 1 (very low seismicity).Earthquake Plan
