Gascony is not a territorial division of modern France; it was a
historic principality in the Middle Ages, and later became part of the
Province of Guyenne. Generally speaking, it includes land southwest of
the river Garonne, excluding the Béarn and the Basque
country. Most of
historic Gascony now lies in the Midi-Pyrenees region (this page) , a
part of it in
Aquitaine.
