Fourcès is a commune in the Gers department in the Occitanie region in southwestern France known for its circular square.

Fourcès lies near Castelnau-d'Auzan and Montréal. Castelnau-d'Auzan is a former commune in the Gers department in southwestern France. On 1 January 2016, it was merged into the new commune Castelnau-d'Auzan-Labarrère. It is a picturesque little village on the river Gélise on a crossing of roads, 26 km (16 mi) east of the city of Condom in the Gers bounding the departments Lot-et-Garonne and the Landes. It benefits of a privileged situation on the fringe the Landes forest in the middle of an agreeable and fertile region. The village lies on the water parting between the Gélise and the Izaute and occupies the emplacement of an ancient castle.

The geographical situation is agreeable: the Atlantic coast on one side and on the other side the ski resorts of the south of France are by car only a distance of 145 km (2 h 15 min).

The Auzoue flows north through the middle of Fourcès. The village lies in the middle of the commune, on the left bank of the Auzoue.
