One of the most anticipated films of the year, “The Three Musketeers: d’Artagnan” arrives in cinemas on Wednesday April 5th. This is a new adaptation from the work of Alexandre Dumas. Drive to Gers, to Lupiac, the village where the true hero who inspired the writer of his saga was born.
The Gers hinterland, with its spectacular views of the Pyrenees, is home to the birthplace of a fictional character: d’Artagnan, immortalized by Alexandre Dumas. In that ancient mansion, the Castle of Castelmore, would have been born the man who represents the origin of the myth: a long-misunderstood musketeer, even on his lands. The historian Jacques Lapart, also president of the Archaeological Society of Gers, enters the only room in the castle from the d’Artagnan period: the kitchen. He spent his childhood there with his three brothers.
A copy of the book is kept in Lupiac
His fate is predetermined, he becomes a soldier, a musketeer. The real d’Artagnan is a captain of the musketeers who died in combat in 1673, but is among other things an officer. Thirty years later, a book appears that will change everything. A copy is kept in the small museum in Lupiac. Today, the village of 300 inhabitants lives to the rhythm of the most famous musketeers, with a festival in period costume every summer.
