Notes: Because of the presence of exposed beams we respectfully request guests not to smoke in the building. We have a dog of our own and as we live adjacent to Maison Tillac, it is not possible for us to accept guests with their own pets. To meet French Government requirements we have fitted a pool alarm. However, it is ultimately the responsibility of the guests to supervise the safe use of the pool.

Further details for this holiday farmhouse rental in Gers, France

Events: There are three major music events in the area. In July there are two music festivals, in Mirande celebrating Country Music and in Vic Fezensac for Latin-American music fans. In August comes the internationally famous Marciac Jazz Festival, two unmissable weeks for the jazz afficionado. Tillac has its flower market in early April, its antiques fair (Brocante/Vide Grenier) in May , classical music concerts/workshops in August and the village fete in July as well as dinner dances throughout the year. Neighbouring villages have their own fetes and other special events from Spring through to Autumn.

Sightseeing: Tillac's unique medieval street; Barran with its twisted church spire; L'Isle-de-Noé in the arms of a river surrounding its 18th century chateau (currently being renovated); Bassoues' 43m high donjon (tower) museum describing the histories of nearby villages; Montreal's gallo-roman villa; Fources one of the prettiest of small villages; Éauze the heart of Armagnac country with an archaeological museum; Riscle's Gascon museum; Auch, the capital of The Gers, with a beautiful cathedral (the choir stalls and stained glass are superb) and its statue of D'artagnan; Condom's gothic cloisters and Armagnac museum and cellars; Mirande's unique church and Beaux Arts museum; Lectoure's thermal centres for 'taking the cure'; Fleurence's fine market square and church with superb stained glass. Also Lavardens, Saint-Puy, Valence-sur-Baise, L'Abbey de Flaran, Cassaigne, Larressingle, La Romieu, Saint-Clar and many more.

Food and Drink: In Gascony country food and cooking still reign supreme. There are many restaurants nearby, including Tillac, serving wholesome food and plenty of it. Four courses, including wine, for 10-12€ is the norm! Gascon meals revolve around, but are not limited to, four things – duck, garlic, wine and armagnac. There are also gourmet restaurants for you to try, vineyards to visit and wines and spirits to sample and buy. Don't miss the fiery spirit of Armagnac, Pousse Rapier and Floc de Gascogne. Everywhere you will see ducks and geese, for this is foie gras country. Foie gras is the pride of Gascony and a delight for the senses. This is best sampled with a glass of sweet Pacherenc or Jurançon wine. There are produce markets at Mirande, Marciac and Mielan. The best butcher in the area is in Tillac and the local shop provides wonderful croissants and bread plus all your basic provisions and fuel for your barbecue. Tillac also has its own restaurant and post office.

Golf: Golf at Tillac – Chateau de Pallanne A few minutes drive from us is the charming Chateau de Pallanne, location of the newest 18-hole golf course in The Gers. Upgraded from 9 holes in the last 18 months by the new owners, the 70 hectares course is par 72, covering 6341 metres. It features the already famous par 5 of 556 metres! The course takes maximum advantage of the natural amphitheatre in which it is set and features trees, flowers and natural water cascades. Open to all, the green fees at Chateau de Pallanne are very reasonable with special prices for young people and students and reductions for seniors. The club house features its own restaurant.

Maison Tillac

Bevnick United Kingdom
Review Submitted: August 2, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
We chose Maison Tillac for an extended family holiday, 13 persons in all including 5 children 2-12 years old. We took the entire property for exclusive use and it was ideal for the size of party. The pool was much enjoyed by all in the very hot weather which limited excursions to essential shopping. Both houses were very comfortable and very well equipped. Thedre was extensive tourist info on site. Fans to circulate air in the hot summer nights would be a useful addition. The owners were extremely helpful at all times without being in any way intrusive. Caopricorn beetles disturbed the upstairs sleepers but forthcoming treatment should prevent that in the future. Overall we much enjoyed Maison Tillac and highly recommend it for family holidays.
Owner's Response: We have now hosted a number of family get-togethers at Maison Tillac and they are always fun. We thoroughly enjoyed having Bevnick's extended family staying with us and helping to celebrate two birthdays (one of theirs and one of ours !).

Just a note on the Capricorn beetles - they are generally very prolific this year (global warming ?) but as soon as our gites are unoccupied, it's all out war !!! No-one here worries about the local variety but if they disturb our guests, they go !

As for the fans, we forgot to put them out !

Wedding Visit & Family Reunion

dessie Cambridge UK
Review Submitted: August 20, 2008 Date of Stay: June 2008
Top of the range accomodation, very spacious rooms, gardens and location. Able to satisfy everyone from an aged Granny with her own downstairs room through a son about to get married to a 6 month old baby.
Many of our wedding guests were staying in the area - it proved to be an excellent location in which to meet some of them for a barbecue, lunch and dinner. Felt just like at home but in very evident French surroundings. They were envious of our accomodation !!
Our son was able to marshall his groomsmen, give them breakfast and then all leave in some style. Plenty of space available for an increasingly nervous bunch of lads.
Our hosts were courtesy itself - went to considerable trouble to ensure our that our visit was troublefree.
Heartily recommend for a family holiday or reunion - we would certainly return.
