Beautiful French Holiday Gite with Private Salt pool in Gers, Midi-Pyrenees / La Mouette Sleeps 4-6 People
This is the Gers region of France - rural France at its best with long hot summers, warm springs and autumns and short winters. Yet to become too touristy the Gers is the old Gascony, steeped in history and the birthplace of D'Artagnan. Now more known for foie gras and armagnac and an unhurried, peaceful way of life. Le Vieux Presbytere is on the edge of a small hamlet with far reaching views across the valleys to the Pyrenees. The surrounding rolling hills are dotted with fields of sunflowers and vineyards. Most noise comes from the wildlife and tractors.
La Mouette has one double bedroom on the mezzanine level with bathroom and a west facing balcony to catch the evening sun and striking sunsets. A twin bedded room on the ground floor with shower room, seating and dining area and fully equipped kitchen. The terrace outside with tables, chairs and umbrellas is perfect for eating lunch, evening aperitives or barbeques. Or we can deliver dinner to you - 3 course dinner served to your gite either taken on the terrace or in the garden. The pretty gardens are full or fruit trees, shrubs and avenues of pine trees. Hammocks are attached to the pines for that very relaxing afternoon siesta. There is something for all ages in this part of France and the friendly locals are very welcoming. The daily markets are full of wonderful fresh local produce including ceps, walnuts, truffles, cherries, peaches and the shellfish from the Atlantic. The Atlantic coast is only 2 hours away and its long sandy beaches and lively waves are great for picnicing, surfing or walking. The mountains of the Pyrenees are 2 hours drive to the south so a day's skiing or summer walking is perfectly feasible. There are many music festivals, especially in the summer, from Country & Western in Mirande, Tempo Latino in Vic-Fesensac and the internationally acclaimed Jazz at Marciac in the first 2 weeks of August. But if you just want to relax and destress, Le Vieux Presbytere is the perfect place.
