Map & local information

The property is located 3 km from the small medieval village of Labastide d'Armagnac, approx 20 min from Mont de Marsan.

The centre piece of the village is the Place Royale and offers local shopping facilities together with a doctor and chemist. Elegant arcades surround the Place Royale, which, in the summer months hosts many leisure and cultural activities such as antique, craft and artisan fairs, local produce markets, expositions or perhaps arranged with candlelit tables for various fetes with music and dancing.

The local towns of St Justin, Villeneuve de Marsan, Cazaubon and Eauze provide their own splash of local colour with markets, fetes and cultural activities.

Close by, there are many other facilities to enjoy including several excellent restaurants, museums, and tours. Outdoor activities including horse riding, fishing, water skiing, canoeing, cycling, tennis, walking and golf are all available locally.

Labastide d'Armagnac is also situated in the Bas Armaganc district and is home to some of the best producers of the internationally renowned A.O.C Gascon brandy, Armagnac. Many of these producers offer tours, expositions and most certainly tasting which is not be missed.

Further afield, to the North lies Bordeaux with its old town and renowned wine producing area's of Medoc, St Emillion, Sauternes and Cognac to name but a few. To the West lies the Côte d'Argent with miles of golden sand with safe patrolled pools or wild Atlantic breakers for surfing.

The coastal towns of Biarritz and St Jean de Luz offer elegant shops, restaurants, boat tours, fishing trips. To the East lies the Midi Pyrenees with miles of rolling countryside and market towns.

To the South lies the Pyrenees, the Spanish border and the Pays Basque providing spectacular scenery, mountain railways, restaurants all with a touch of Spanish culture.

Between all of these lies the pine clad countryside of Les Landes, most of which is protected Natural Park status, offering walking, picnicking, museums and preserved Gascon heritage sites.

On a culinary note the local area is famous for: foie gras - duck liver, confit de canard - duck conserved in it own fat, maigret de canard - grilled duck breast, poulet Landais - chicken as chicken is supposed to be, garbure - a rich, Gascon soup, sanglier - wild boar, palombes - wild pigeons, tourtieres - a light pastry dessert with prunes or apples and Armagnac, plus all the fruits, vegetables, crepes, patisserie etc you would expect from such a gastronomic area of France.

The Atlantic coast offers seafood aficionados all the delights of les fruits de mer, including lobster, langoustine, oysters and prawns together with a wide variety of fresh fish.

Local wines include Tursan, Madiran, Saint Mont, Chalosse with the ever popular Bordeaux and St Emillion in evidence everywhere.
