Further details for this holiday farmhouse rental in Lamaguere, France

The Area: This is ancient Gascony (now called the Gers), France's least developed and least populated Department - land of d'Artagnan; Armagnac; foie gras; sunflowers; hot summers; temperate winters and an abundance of wildlife. The area abounds with beautiful old Bastide Towns such as Mirande with its Country Music Festival, a 25 minute drive and Marciac, world-famous for its 2 week Summer Jazz Festival, 45 minutes. Auch, the capital of the Gers, is less than 20 minutes away - a wonderful medieval town crowned by its famous Cathedral at the top of the vast stone staircase climbing up from the river Gers. Up in the Old Town near the Cathedral there's a maze of narrow streets lined with ancient buildings housing chic boutiques, exotic food shops, bars, brasseries and restaurants. On a more practical level, on the outskirts of Auch you will find many famous names of French shopping - Carrefour, Leclerc, Intermarche etc. - very useful!

Local Activities: The nearest 18 hole golf course is the 4,635 metre Par 67 'Golf d'Auch-Embats' just outside the Cathedral town of Auch, about 30 minutes drive. The views are stunning and so is the food! Another course worth visiting is Château Pallanne, on the road to Marciac. There's horse riding about 30 minutes away and several tennis courts just 15 minutes away at Pavie. Water skiing, sailing, windsurfing on the lake at Marciac. Marked walks all around (Guide Leaflets supplied in the house) & it's fun to walk round 'your own' 60 acres where you may well see deer, herons, badgers, hares, partridges, pheasant, birds of prey, red squirrels and a host of other fauna & flora. Some weeks in the summer our farming neighbours keep sheep on the lower fields away from the house. There is fishing in local lakes and rivers; river Boat hire at beautiful Condom, about an hour's drive - & much, much more - just ask us.

Further Afield: 'Lalanne' is a 1 hour drive from the Pyrenees, 1 ¼ hours to Spain, about 2 hours to Biarritz on the Atlantic coast & about 2 1/2 hours to the Med. You can even get to the Costa Brava in about 3 1/2 hours. The nearest airport is Toulouse, just over an hour away. It's perfectly feasible to drive to the Pyrenees in the morning for some stunning walking - then have lunch in Spain, buy some cheap gin or brandy and return home in time for a swim and dinner. In winter the nearest (and one of the largest) Pyrenean ski resorts is just 1 1/4 hours drive - so day trip skiing is very easy. This area of Gascony truly combines peace, beauty and tranquillity with amazing accessibility.

Other Activities:

Boules, table tennis, badminton

Perfect holiday home from home

Review Submitted: September 13, 2011 Date of Stay: July 2011
We have had wonderful 3 weeks in this beautiful and idyllic region of France. The house we stayed in was perhaps the best equipped and most comfortable of all the properties we have ever stayed in. The friendly and helpful English owners were able to ensure that we had everything that we needed for a worry free break. The house is equipped to an exceptionally high standard, and its obvious that great care to detail has been involved in ensuring the rooms are beautifully decorated, tidy ,clean and well equipped. This meant we could all relax and enjoy the super pool and garden- in fact the huge garden and woodland walks around the house were so beautiful we hardly went anywhere else in 3 weeks! Wildlife and scenery is truly breathtaking and for us 'townies' seeing deer in the garden nearly everyday was amazing!
The boys enjoyed the pool and table tennis and badminton on site was a great hit .Peace perfect peace......Strongly recommended. Thank you Paul and Min for a fantastic holiday home from home.

Rural France at its best

Review Submitted: July 26, 2011 Date of Stay: July 2011
Set in the heart of the country this property has lovely views of the surrounding countryside. Loads of space around the house to explore and has plenty of walks along the quiet lanes surrounding the property.

The house is well equipped, very spacious and has all the facilities one could need. The owners made sure the property was maintained to a high standard and was well stocked with the basic essential items on our arrival.

A large kitchen/dinning room gives you the option to eat in but given the good weather and wonderful views we tended to dine outside making full use of the BBQ.

The pool is large, impressive and well maintained with lovely views. Plenty of space around the pool to sit and relax.

Plenty of small markets on around the area with a decent choice of restaurants in the area.

We would definitely recommend this property to others.

Leave the "rat race" behind!

Review Submitted: July 1, 2011 Date of Stay: June 2011
A spacious, well-equipped property owned by courteous, considerate owners who have given much thought as to one's requirements and enjoyment.

Set in truly rural surroundings in its own extensive grounds, one can "chill out" and commune with nature yet life's necessities are but a short, picturesque drive away.

There is walking within the grounds of the property and on the nearby quiet lanes.

The property also has the benefit of a beautiful, solar heated pool and there are superb views therefrom. The pool is suitable for both young and old.

A property which lures one to return and also recommend to others.

Fantastically Relaxing

Review Submitted: November 21, 2010 Date of Stay: July 2010
We really did have a fantastic time during our two weeks at Lalanne. The house is in a beautiful setting with dramatic views over to the snow covered (in August) Pyrenees. Lovely house with all the facilities you need. Unbelievably relaxing, French style slow paced holiday. Superb stuff.

A peaceful haven with a fabulous outlook

Review Submitted: November 1, 2010 Date of Stay: September 2010
A very warm welcome from Min and Paul set the scene for a great week at Lalanne.
The house and setting were excellent as expected from the website with everything beautifully kept giving us no concerns about whether we had forgotten to bring anything. In fact the relatively local shopping facilities and particularly low cost gazoline were only a short drive away.
As keen birdwatchers with an interest in wild life the environment was perfect and very relaxing.
Just a few birds noted around the house at different times of the day:
Nuthatch, Treecreeper,Great Tit, Blue Tit, Black Cap (pair), Chaffinch, Willow Warbler, Garden Warbler or Cettis, Long-tail Tit, Redpoll, Alpine Swifts, Robin, Pied Flycathers (Male & Female),Buzzard, Pidgeon, Crows, Tawny Owl, Red Legged Partridges, Green Woodpecker, Kestrel (pair), Wood Warbler, Heron, Blackbird, Jay, Lesser White Throat, 2 x Pied Wagtails.
Deer, Bats and Red Squirrels were also in the locality.
Kathy and I thoroughly enjoyed the seclusion of the property whilst knowing that Min and Paul were only a phone call away if we had needed any additional service.
No hesitation in recommending this property to friends and relatives.
