Flamarens (Gascon: "Flamarens") is a commune located in the northeast of the Gers department in the Occitanie administrative region. Historically and culturally, the commune is in the Lomagne region, a former district of the Gascony province.
Experiencing an altered oceanic climate, it is drained by the Métau stream and various other small streams.
The commune's architectural heritage includes two buildings protected as historic monuments of France: the Château de Flamarens, listed in 1965, and the Church of Saint-Saturnin in Flamarens, registered in 1993.

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).[3]
