    Ondanks het wat tegenvallende weer hebben we, mede dankzij het comfortabele huis en vooral ook de behulpzame en uiterst vriendelijke gastheren, een uitstekend verblijf gehad; comfortabel en smaakvol ingericht huis, voortreffelijke keuken, twee badkamers en een uitzicht. Het zwembad was heerlijk en goede stoelen en parasols.
    De beste gite die wij ooit huurden.
    De omgeving is prachtig en we hebben er veel kunnen fietsen

    It was an absolute treat to stay in James and Nick’s gîte. A self-contained barn restoration, with high ceilings and original beams and a great view of the patchwork of fields in the coombe it forms a part of. These slightly rolling hills are the typical geography of le Gers. Great to spend warm summer evenings watching the landscape change as nightfall approaches. The gîte is very comfortable and well-appointed with lots of space, off the beaten track with supermarkets 20- 30 minutes away and restaurants to try in many directions. There is a pool in the lovingly landscaped gardens, with loungers, tables and parasols to spend some time in the sun in the rural calm. We stayed a week and enjoyed our time there immensely. A great place to relax and discover the local area.

    Comment from James Fitzgerald

    Thank you Francis and Sylvan for your review. We are very happy you enjoyed your time in this peaceful corner of le Gers and that you were able to benefit from your time relaxing by the pool and visiting local villages, restaurants and the lake at Marciac. We'd be happy to see you again if you are ever back in this part of France.

    Great peaceful and quiet place for a relaxing time. Very friendly welcome by the owners. Lots of privacy, but help if needed. The house is authentic with a romantic flavour, but bathrooms and kitschen very modern and well equiped. The swimming pool is gorgeous, great view on the beautiful garden and the farmfields. The sunbed at the pool, under the parasol, is a fine place to do some reading.
    As there is almost no traffic on the small roads between the small villages and farms, it is easy to do some walks starting from the house of 5 to 12 kilometer, and stumble upon a small church, a viewpoint at the Pyrenees or some small deer. We had a very good time!

Activities

This house is close to many outdoor activities including golf, swimming, walking, cycling and fishing. This area has many parks and lakes for picnics and relaxing in the tranquil countryside. We are within easy reach of many vineyards where you can tour and buy local wine and other produce and just an hour away from the ski slopes for winter skiing and snowboarding. The Pyrenees are very close by for mountain walks in the summer and for yet another change of scenery, Spain is a short drive away - close enough to go for lunch! Of course, you might just want to laze by the pool or relax in the large garden where you will experience total peace and quiet. There is a very lively music scene with concerts and village fêtes throughout the summer. The world renowned Jazz Festivals at Marciac is a short drive away.
