Radio Coteaux is an associated local community radio station, embedded in the quaint French village Saint-Blancard in the Gers region, the heart of Gascony, in Occitanie (south of France), some 100 km south of Toulouse. Radio Coteaux is a French-language station, but also accommodates to the large number of expatriates that rank among its listeners through its Sunday evening English-language Gascony Show broadcast.
Radio Coteaux offers tremendous depth and breadth of programs with genres ranging from Rock, Latino, Jazz, World and many more.
Community engagement
Radio Coteaux stays connected to its surrounding community by attending many events in the Gascony region, supporting numerous charitable causes, producing ecological programs on environment, and promoting tourism to the region through its close ties to CILT, le Centre d'Insertion par le Loisir et le Tourisme.
